2. How does trash collection work?
- Each residence has a 96-gallon trash container issued by the city. The container should be marked
in some way with your address or name. They are emptied once a week on a Tuesday.
The container needs to be out by 7:00a.m. on Tuesdays.
Trash must be placed inside the container.
If your container is missing or stolen, report it to the police by
calling 327-3811. They will issue an "incident number", and then call 327-4MAC and you
will be issued a replacement. Also, if you record the serial number marked on your trash container, this will
speed up the replacement process.
Each household can have up to two of the 96-gallon containers. The first one
is provided by the city. You can obtain a second one for $45 by calling 327-4MAC.
Apartment buildings with more than 4 units and businesses do not get city trash pick up and must
provide their own dumpsters.
- Heavy Trash Pickup. According to the City, heavy trash is picked up once a month, on the second Thursday. "Heavy trash includes household furnishings, appliances, and bicycles. Swingsets are OK, but please disassemble them first. You also can include tires with rims. Refrigerators, air conditioners, and other items containing freon require special handling. Please call 327-4MAC for more information."
- Hazardous waste, such as automotive products and fluids, car and
household batteries, cleaners and polishers, paints and
solvents, swimming pool and other chemicals, herbicides
and pesticides, may be dropped off at the Tox Drop site
location on the south side: Perry Township Government Center,
4925 Shelby St., on the 2nd & 4th Saturdays (except December
27), 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. Call 327-4TOX to learn how to safely
dispose of hazardous waste that is not included in this
list or to see if an item will be accepted.
- Recycling is picked up every Friday at the curb. There
is a charge to participate in the city recycling and you
must call 327-4MAC to register and to receive the red recycling
tub. OR You can recycle newspapers (only) by taking them
to the dedicated dumpster in the O’Malia's parking lot.
