The Solid Waste Division is responsible for the removal of all household garbage, commercial garbage, wood scraps, furniture, white goods and dead animals. Approximately 40 tons of Solid waste is collected and hauled to the transfer station at the county landfill each week.
Household garbage is collected once a week with half the city serviced on Monday and the other half on Tuesday. Commercial containers, yard waste and other items are picked up on Wednesday and Thursday.
