• You will keep your current blue trash bin and recycling containers. No bin exchange or replacement is required.
• Pickup schedules will be changing for some residents. New trash, recycling, and yard waste collection days will be announced at the open house events.
• Payment information for all residents who pay their trash bill quarterly will not transfer automatically. All residents who pay their trash bill quarterly must sign up directly with Coastal in January. Customers whose service is included in their taxes do not need to do anything.
• A brief adjustment period may occur. As Coastal Waste and Recycling begins operations following the Christmas and New Years holidays, the County asks residents to be patient during the transition.
