Trash and Recycling Guide

Each town has its own schedule for trash pick-up. Some add extra days during the summer months to accommodate the visitor population. Please see trash and recycling schedules on your guest app or on our website here.

Not all properties offer recycling.

Trash Guidelines

Containers are to be filled only to the point that the lid can still be closed properly. Bags left next to the container will not be picked up by the town.

Containers are to be rolled to the side of the road (within four feet) the night before pick-up and the morning of your check-out. Containers should be rolled back under the house on pick-up days after they are emptied. Leaving containers by the road can result in a fine from the town that will be forwarded to the guest responsible.

Overflow or large items placed next to containers will not be picked up by the town. Examples of large items include broken beach tents, beach chairs, boogie boards, and grills. Please take all items such as these and overflow to town centers.

Overflow bags left at checkout will have to be transported by management to the town's center, and the guests responsible will incur a cleanup fee.

Some properties have dumpsters located at the end of the driveway. Please make sure the dumpster at the property is not blocked by a car on the morning of pick-up.

Recycling Guidelines

Please respect the difference between trash and recycling containers. Recycling containers filled with trash will not be dumped by the town. As a result, management will be required to remove the trash from the container and charge the guests responsible a cleanup fee.

Some homes have curb-side recycling containers. Place all recycling in the containers provided and store them away from the street on non-collection days. Roll containers to the edge of the street the night before the scheduled pick-up day and back to the home afterwards.
