RESIDENTIAL PICKUP INSTRUCTIONS:
- Place totes curbside the night before or by 5am on your scheduled pick- up day.
- Place totes with three feet clearance and with the open side of the lid towards the street. The lid on the container must be able to close. Adequate spacing allows the arm of the waste/recycling truck to come down on the carts and grab them.
- Do not park vehicles in front of totes due for pick up.
- Allow six feet of clearance from the tote and any obstructions such as streetlights, mailboxes, trees or electrical poles.
- Tags may be purchased for additional waste. Tags are sold in our office and some surrounding businesses. Each additional bag requires one tag and this should be placed around the top of the bag. This bag should be placed beside the container.
- For large items or bulky garbage (for example, mattresses, grills, furniture) contact our office 319-395-0904 or submit a service request.
