Garbage is NOT free - Everyone who lives here is charged $1.00 per bag -- So thank you first of all for being respectful enough to bag it up and not leave it - if you stop in at most of the businesses - they will take the bag and a dollar and put it out with our weekly pickup -- The dumpsters are not for public use either, The Rec District pays a high dollar for these for the convenience of their camping guests. Please respect our trash rules. Thank you
