Garbage Guidelines

One grey Harter's trash container is provided to each property in the City.  The container is owned by the City and stays with the property. An additional container is available for $100.00 but is still owned by the City and must stay with the property if you move. 

Residential garbage is picked up on Tuesday.  Businesses must contract for their own service.

Please have the container to the curb no later than 5:00 a.m. on Tuesday, but not earlier than 48 hours before.

All trash must fit in the container with the lid closed.
