Curbside Garbage/Recycling

Garbage
Garbage pick-up is early on Tuesday in the smaller (64-gallon) tote provided by Fuchs Sanitation. Please put out your totes the evening before.

 

Recycling
Recycling is collected every other Wednesday (Zone 1 one week, Zone 2 the next) in the larger (96-gallon) tote provided by Fuchs Sanitation. Please put out your totes the evening before.

 

Garbage and recycling totes are to be placed (street side) at the end of driveways or backside of curb along boulevard, free of any obstructions.  Totes must be properly stored in an enclosed building, or for exterior storage, place neatly against either the back or side of the structure with lids fully closed. Your garbage and recycling tote should be moved off the boulevard as soon as possible after collection has been completed.

 

Excess
If a household has more garbage than will fit within a tote, residents must purchase garbage tags at the cost of $2.50/each. These may be purchased at Casey’s General Store, Petro Serve, or at City Hall. Excess garbage must be placed in bags no larger than 32 gallons. Items beyond this size require a special pick-up with Fuchs Sanitation.  Please see the list at the bottom of this page.
