Household Waste Removal

Public Works collects household garbage every Tuesday and compost every Wednesday. Residents are reminded to have their bins placed at the curb prior to collection day to ensure pickup. Please make sure all materials are properly sorted and secured to help keep our community clean and support efficient waste collection services. If you have any questions regarding collection or acceptable materials, please contact the Village Office.

Public Works respectfully asks residents to keep the following in mind:
• Garbage must be bagged in a BLACK bag.
• Compost and lake weeds must be bagged in a CLEAR bag.
• Dog waste must NOT be put in your compost. Contaminated compost will not be picked up.
• Bags should be no smaller than 74L.
• Bags should be no heavier than 35lbs. or 16kg.
• Please tie your garbage bags securely in a knot.
• Garbage receptacles must have secure lids to prevent animals & the weather from making a mess.
• Garbage bins should be kept inside a garbage stand or box. Bags should never be exposed to the elements or placed on top of your bins.
• Please double bag glass/jars to avoid glass breaking and tearing your garbage bag.
• Please keep your garbage cans clean and wash out any toxic residue as often as necessary.
• Cardboard should be flattened & stacked beside the garbage. If you have multiple boxes, they should be flattened and tied together nicely.
• NO fish or animal carcasses. Public Works will NOT pick up if the garbage can is full of little bags, or loose garbage.
• If it is necessary for Public Works to clean up scattered garbage from your property, there will be a minimum $50.00 clean-up fee
