Sanitation Rates
Sanitation charges are designed to reflect a
volume-based system for trash pick-up. For households
and businesses that require a 90 gallon toter, there
will be a standard minimum charge of $7.00, which will
appear on your monthly utility bill. This charge is
assessed to cover the cost of operation of the waste
system, including a transfer station, compost pile and
recycling center. In addition to the minimum charges,
there will be a requirement that all toters must have a
sticker attached in order to be emptied. These stickers
are available at the City Offices for $6.00 each.
Other places that currently sell them are Hill's Family
Foods and Capitol Liquor.
When the toter is full and you are ready to have it
emptied, attach the sticker to the lid, roll the toter
to the appropriate place, and it will be picked up and
the sticker removed. Some households may find that they
would prefer having the trash picked up before the toter
is full. In that case, color-coded 30 gal. bags may be
purchased for $2.00 each at the City Office. These bags
should be placed inside the toter or placed in the
normal pickup area for collection, but no stickers are
required. If no stickers are placed on the toter, only
the colored bags will be removed. We also offer
automatic trash pickup that is billed directly on your
utility bill. You may sign up for weekly,
bi-weekly or monthly trash pickup.
All yard waste is banned from the toters. No
compostable materials such as grass clippings, tree
branches, or garden waste may be included with trash.
The city maintains a compost pile near the transfer
station site for residents to use for disposal of these
items.
Normally trash is picked up in the alley behind your
property with the City furnishing toters (wheeled,
plastic containers) for each service. If there is not
an alley for you to use, the collection will be made at
curbside. Trash routes are run weekly for each
residential or commercial account. Homes and businesses
located on the east side of town (east of
Broadway/Highway 6) will be picked up on Tuesdays, while
the west side of town will be collected on Thursdays.
Please contact the City Office if you do not have a
toter or if you have any questions.
