Due to environmental concerns, State and County Laws, and increased cost of solid waste disposal, the Town Council adopted an ordinance establishing standards for garbage and trash collection and a fee schedule for bulk items which cannot be practically boxed, bagged, or bundled. We appreciate your cooperation in helping us keep our Town clean by complying with the following code requirements:
COLLECTION DAYS - Hours : 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
Garbage Collection: Monday and Thursday
Trash Collection: Tuesday and Friday
Recyclable Material Collection: Wednesday
If Monday is a holiday, garbage collection is on a Tuesday.
LOCATION OF CONTAINERS
Place containers on the side or rear of your property. They must be in an accessible area.
GARBAGE CONTAINERS - Not for more than 50 Gal.
Must have tight fitting tops, handles for pick-up, and not weigh more than 40 lbs. when full. Do not place garbage in the containers we furnished you for recycling. All garbage must be in plastic bags.
RECYCLED WASTE CONTAINER
The Town of Golden Beach provides each household with a white 60 gallon bin to hold all recyclables. Please place your newspapers,aluminum cans, tin cans, glass bottles, jars and plastic bottles in this recycled waste container. No telephone books, cardboard or plastic bags.
SEPARATE YOUR TREE TRIMMINGS AND PLANT WASTE - They may not be commingled with garbage. Do not place tree trimmings and plant waste on top or near drains.

Gardeners are responsible for hauling away the garden trash they generate.
