Garbage Pick Up

The City contracts with Allied/BFI Waste Services for garbage pickup once a week and charges $8.63 per month for each container.  You will be given a blue, wheeled garbage cart.  We ask that you bag your garbage (preferably in plastic bags) before placing it in the cart.  On the day that your garbage is collected you will need to roll your cart to the street before 7:00 a.m. and place it on the curb within eighteen inches (18”) of the street (not in the street) with the cart handles facing toward your house (remember Handles to House).  Do not place the cart within five feet of any stationary object (mailbox, tree, utility pole, vehicle, etc.)

There are several things we ask you to remember:
• DO NOT place anything in the cart except household garbage.
• DO NOT pile garbage around the cart (even in plastic bags).   The truck WILL NOT pick it up unless it is in the cart.
• DO NOT leave your cart on the curb longer than 24 hours.  The City has an ordinance which requires you to keep your cart out of public view on days when it is not being picked up.

If your garbage pick-up is missed, call 892-9306.
If you live outside the city limits, call 901-794-3800.
