The service includes pickup of normal household waste and on-going bulk pickup of some items. There are some restrictions and some alternative options. Please have trash out for pickup by 7AM. IESI begins servicing routes at 7AM and typically finishes by 7PM. All household waste must be placed in the 96 gallon cart provided to you by IESI. Carts must be placed at the curb prior to collection. Each household is provided a 96 gallon poly cart.

DO NOT PLACE HOT ASHES, LIQUIDS SUCH AS MOTOR OILS OR GREASE, OR HAZARDOUS MATERIALS SUCH AS CAR BATTERIES OR LEAD BASED PAINTS INSIDE THE CARTS.

Brush will be picked up at the curb if it is cut into four-foot lengths and tied and bundled. Bundles should not exceed 40 pounds in weight. Bulk is limited to what two men can pick up in a 5 minute period. Removal of large items such as furniture, stoves, and water heaters, heating units and any other appliances or similar bulky items from residential properties will normally occur on the same day as your weekly scheduled pickup. Refrigerators, freezers, and air conditional units will only be picked up if the resident supplies a certificate from a certified technician that CFCs (chlorinated fluorocarbons) have been properly removed. IESI will pick up bagged yard waste each week on your regular pickup day. Yard Waste needs to be set at least 3 feet away from your trash and recycle carts on your regular trash day. If you have carpeting, flooring, or any construction material, these items can be picked up for a fee and you will need a supervisor to give an estimate on the charge.

Recycling is provided within the city limits to each resident and collected one time per week on the scheduled trash pickup day. Each resident is provided an 18 gallon recycle bin to use for recycling. Determining if your item is recyclable is easy. On the label there should be a circle of arrows. This circle should also contain a number. If it has the recycle number and it is not Styrofoam or the number 6, it should be placed in the recycle bin for pickup.

Acceptable Recycle Items are:

Metal cans
Chipboard (cereal boxes, soda boxes, etc)
Glass bottles or jars
Newspaper
Magazines
Phone books
Plastics #1 - #7 (milk jugs, juice jugs, laundry detergent jugs, etc)
Junk mail advertisements

Aerobic Septic System Information

What Type of Chlorine: When disinfection of aerobic system treated wastewater effluent is required and you are using chlorine tablets, it is important that you use a chlorine tablet that is made from calcium hypochlorite and is certified for wastewater disinfection by EPA. They are very reactive and will kill 99% of the bacteria present in the effluent within 10 minutes. Follow all warning and precaution statements of the chlorine tablet manufacturer to protect yourself and the system equipment.

Warning: DO NOT use swimming pool chlorine tablets in your disinfection system. The chlorine in these tablets are made from trichlorisocyanuric acid. Swimming pool tablets dissolve more slowly than calcium hypochlorite and do not thoroughly disinfect the effluent. Additionally, there is a danger of explosion using swimming pool tablets since the tablets will release an explosive gas called nitrogen chloride due to the fact that they are not totally immersed in water at all times while in use. They are not approved by EPA for wastewater effluent disinfection.
