Helpful Hints for Garbage Collection

• Make sure your container is out by 7am on collection day
  

• Bag all loose trash...BAGGED TRASH STOPS LITTER
  

• Place the container close to the street, so the truck can reach it, away from all obstacles. Trash will not be picked up if set too close to any obstacle.
  

• Do not "JAM" trash into the container. This can prevent the container from being completely emptied
  

• Trash piled high in the container can fall out as the truck picks it up. Anything that falls out will be left
  

• NO WOOD OR METAL! This can damage the truck
  

• NO TREE LIMBS. Take any limbs to the city yard wood pile, or place limbs next to the curb...see Limbs

The dump yard is open on the first and third Saturdays of each month, from 8:00am to 1:00pm, dependant on weather and roll-off container availability. Customers will need to bring their current water bill in order to dump. Cost for dump is as follows:

• First dump of the month: FREE (no more than a pickup load)
  

• Second and each additional dump: $25.00
  

Trucks with trailers are considered two separate loads. If you have not used your free dump, the cost will be $25.00. If you have used your free dump, the cost will be $50.00.
