Only use GFL provided poly carts
We encourage poly carts to be set out Tuesday evenings. Pick up begins as early as 5am on Wednesday mornings.
Set the poly cart no more than 3 feet from the street with the hinges facing your house.
Make sure there are no cars or other obstacles between the poly cart and the trash truck.
The side of the cart with the lid hinges should be faced towards the house.
Set your poly cart so the front is less than 3 feet from the street.
Don’t overload your poly cart. The max weight of contents cannot be more than 200 pounds.
Trash from outside of the city cannot be disposed of in a city receptacle.
Pull the cart away from the street by the evening of trash pickup day and return it to your house.

Trash Overflow Solutions:

For recyclable items, there is a green recycling trailer located in a vacant lot close to the NE corner of the 5th St and Center St intersection that you can deposit sorted paper, cardboard and plastic products free of charge.
Last but not least, an additional poly cart for your address can be obtained from the city for $6 a month.
We also have a dumpster for large items behind the library (CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS APPLY - SEE "PUBLIC DUMSPTER PROGRAM" FOR DETAILS).
