Waste Disposal Announcements
Due to high demand, Davis Disposal has provided a cardboard recycling dumpster located in the west parking lot beside the old Fresh Pride Grocery Store. All cardboard boxes must be broken down and placed through the narrow slot in the front of the dumpster. Businesses and individuals needing pick up services should call Public Works and be put on the list. Pick up will occur on Tuesdays only. Rates are subject to change without notice.
Yard Debris
Yard debris will be picked up on Mondays. The yard debris must be stacked in the front yard between the sidewalk and the curb. Limbs and branches must be cut in maximum lengths of 4’ (See Town Code Section 58-32b.) No limbs larger than a 2” radius will be picked up. Loose debris, vines and leaves must be bagged. Construction Debris WILL NOT be picked up.
If you have a large or bulky item to be picked up, please call or email Tammy Teague at 331-3259 x14 or utilityclerk@capecharles.org. A $25 fee is charged for each item.
