Trash Crew: Rickie Ward, Jr., Trash Crew Forman, Pat McKee, Dwayne Jones, Joe Smiley, George Pearson, Joe Davis, Danell Lott, Landfill Operator.
Trash includes yard waste (limbs, leaves, grass), crates, old furniture, appliances and bulk materials.
Yard waste must be separated from all other materials for yard waste recycling pickup. DO NOT USE PLASTIC BAGS! Traditional plastic bags are not 100% biodegradable and do not fit in with our Yard waste recycling program. Composting at home is an excellent idea, also. If you bag your yard waste, please use our earth-friendly, compostable bags (available at City Hall and area hardware/garden shops for a minimal price, call 928-2136).
Containers are NOT trash! All containers which have had food or chemicals in them at one time must be contained with garbage, not trash. Also, remember garden pots must be bagged with garbage, too.
Any debris that may blow must be contained.
Yard waste may be placed at curbside for pick up at any time. Other trash, such as furniture and bulk items, may not be placed out for pick up more than 24
hours before pick up. Call us if you are unsure which day is your “trash” pick up day, 990-0192.
Do not mix Trash and Garbage---trash is deposited at our local inert landfill.
Do not place trash or debris in sidewalks or in roads and drainage areas.
Trash is collected weekly.
Small electronics are considered "garbage" and should be placed beside your garbage can (radios, stereos, microwaves). However, Computer peripherals should be brought in for recycling to 555 South Section Street, Publics Works Dept.
