Refuse Pickup
Residential refuse is picked up Tuesdays by the GFL, unless a holiday falls during the week. Garbage must be placed at the curb by 6 am for pickup.
Large items, such as couches, chairs, mattresses, and any item that is too large to fit in the bin, will no longer be picked up at the curb. Large items can be taken to the Recycling Center and disposed of for a fee of $20.00 per item. If a large item is left at the curb, the Public Works Department will pick up the item at an additional charge.
The city has ordinances regulating storage of garbage and refuse.
If your garbage is not picked up on garbage day, please contact City Hall at 920-855-2255.
