Garbage Pick-up (Toters)

Garbage pick-up is weekly on Thursday mornings, citywide. Recycling is every two weeks. Bulky items are picked up the second Thursday of the month. Garbage may not be set out earlier than 4:00 PM on Wednesday. Garbage containers must be restored to a place out of view from the street by 9:00 AM the day after pickup. If containers are left out and the city has to move them there will be a $25 fee charged to the property owner (ordinance 8.28.090). View additional information from John’s Disposal Services.

Parking Permits

Parking permits for residents are required for all residential city lots due to limited parking spaces. Residents are entitled to purchase one Resident Parking Permit. Residents occupying living quarters adjacent to lots signed for permit parking may purchase Resident Parking Permits. Residents must provide satisfactory proof of residency, such as a current lease.
