I live in town and have very little garbage. Can I cancel my garbage service?

This is how we guarantee that the entire City is handled by a licensed and responsible solid waste provider thatl maintains the high standards set by the City. Utility customers outside the city limits have the option of using City sanitation services or not.
What exactly can I put out at the curb on my garbage day?
Residents are allowed to dispose of one City provided cart plus 5 additional bags or bundles in their weekly pickup. This includes household garbage and brush, if properly bundled. (Brush must be cut in 4-ft lengths and tied in bundles weighing no more than 35 pounds each.) No loose brush or limbs, bulky waste or toxic material will be picked up.
