Trash Information-Our trash days are Monday and Thursday mornings. Southdown participates in back-door trash pick-up. However, yard clippings, tree branches, fencing, etc. must be brought to the curb and bagged or bundled weighing no more than 40 pounds, and being no longer than 4 feet in length. Please do not place your grass clippings at the curb before the night preceding pick-up. It changes the perception of our neighborhood and is a common complaint of your neighbors. If collection day falls on a holiday, items will be picked up the next trash/recycling day, not the following business day. For more info see:
