Curbside Recycling Collection, Service Matters & Information

Weather Emergencies
Changes in collection schedules due to weather emergencies or other emergency situations will be announced on the following radio stations: WCTC (1450 AM) and WMGQ (98.3 FM). You may also check for changes on the web site at www.mciauth.com or by calling (800) 488-MCIA (6242) for specific information.

Leaves, Brush & Grass
Leaves are collected every Monday, except holidays. Place leaves in open plastic bags or containers and place at the curb.

Brush must be tied with string or cord in bundles no more than 4 feet in length and 1 foot in height. Place the brush at curbside for Monday collection (except holidays).

Grass clippings are collected every Monday, except holidays. Place clippings in open plastic bags or containers and place at the curb. However, it is recommended that residents participate in the "Cut It and Leave It!" grass fertilizing program. Leave grass clippings on the lawn for natural fertilization. Avoid time-consuming raking and the expense of bagging your grass clippings. Call the MCIA Recycling Hotline for more information.
