Residential Garbage Pickup

• Furniture (mattresses, sofas, chairs, dressers, etc.)
• Construction Debris (concrete, drywall, lumber, carpet or other flooring materials, shingles, etc.)
• Yard Debris (unbagged grass clippings, large tree branches, soil or sod rocks, etc.)
• Flammable materials (ashes from wood stoves/fireplaces that have not been properly cooled)

If you reside in an area where front street pick up is provided, a roll out cart is supplied by Ottenbreit Sanitation and pick up of this cart also occurs once per week.  The trucks utilized for pick up of the carts are specially equipped to empty the carts once placed out at the street in the appropriate location.  Please refer to the Residential Roll Out Cart Placement Guidelines.

Following a few simple steps will ensure proper disposal of your refuse:

• Bag all refuse prior to placing it in the cart.
• Pull the cart - it's easier than pushing.
• Keep the lid closed.  You must be able to close the lid without packing the garbage in the cart otherwise the excess weight will make emptying the cart more difficult.
• Always have the wheels of the container facing the curb. If your house is on a street or avenue without a curb, please place the container on the road making sure the garbage truck can reach the cart.
• If there is a snow bank built up along the curb, ensure the cart is out further than the snow bank.  Residents should refrain from parking on the street on collection day, however, if there are vehicles on the street, please place the container in the location as illustrated in the "Residential Roll Out Cart Placement Guidelines".
• Your cart must be placed on the street or avenue which corresponds with your address.
• To avoid having your cart missed; please place it out the night before your assigned collection day.
• Remove empty carts from the street and properly store them at the back of your home.
• For your child's safety, do not allow them to play near the roll out carts or the garbage collection vehicle.

Other important facts to remember:

• Do not remove the cart from its assigned address.  If you move, the cart must remain at that location for the next resident's use.
• Do not paint or write on the cart.
• Do not dispose of hot ashes, oil or contaminants in the cart.
• Do not put construction debris in the cart.
• Inform Ottenbreit Sanitation of any damage, vandalism or theft of the cart.  It is important to note the serial number stamped on the cart placed at your residence.
• You are responsible for your cart so PLEASE TAKE CARE OF IT.
