Mission Statement
The
Environmental Services Department provides curbside removal and
disposal of tree limbs, bagged leaves, straw and other yard wastes
for all residences within the City Limits. Typically, the yard wastes
are picked up weekly. Citizens wanting to use this service must place
yard wastes near the edge of the road in an area away from overhead
utility lines. It is not necessary to call the Department for pickup.
The Department manages and operates the North Central Inert Landfill at 1507 North Central Avenue. The landfill's operating hours are 7:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. The landfill is also open on the second Saturday of each month from 7:00 AM until 12:00 noon. The landfill is permitted to accept stumps, limbs, tires, leaves, pallets, cloth scraps (and similar type material), and construction debris. Citizens wanting to carry wastes to the landfill must purchase a dump ticket from City Hall before they will be allowed to dump. Contact Joanne at City Hall at 329-6707 for questions regarding costs for dumping. Commercial customers wanting to carry wastes to the landfill must set up an account with Terry Bishop at 409-2020.
The
Environmental Services Department also manages the recycling program
at 824 Railey Road. The Department receives recyclables such as cardboard,
#1 and #2 plastic, newsprint, computer paper, aluminum cans and scrap
iron on Saturdays from 8:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m.
The
Department also removes and disposes of dead animals from the road
and right-of-way. Pickup of dead animals in the road can be called
in to the Department.
