Garbage

The Sanitation and Trash Division is responsible for bi-weekly, curbside refuse pickup of residential garbage throughout Ceredo. Pickups occur every Monday and Thursday, excluding Holidays. If a holiday occurs on a scheduled pickup day, the pickup will occur the next business day.

Important Information:

• Weekly garbage should not be set out for collection before 6 p.m., the night before it is to be collected.
• Brush or limbs should be tied in bundles not exceeding forty-eight (48) inches in length by eighteen (18) inches in diameter.  The total brush bundle should not weigh more than seventy-five (75) pounds.
• It is unlawful to blow or sweep grass clippings, leaves, or other yard waste into the street as it clogs storm drains and contributes to flooding problems.

Items the Town of Ceredo will not collect:

• Needles, syringes, tires, car batteries, motor oil or petroleum products, offal, animal carcasses, sewage, or any type of biohazardous material.
• Paint cans with liquid paint (if you put kitty litter or sand into cans to dry out, the town can dispose of them).
• Any appliances which have refrigerant (such as refrigerators, air-conditioners, freezers, etc.) unless the compressor has been removed.
• Fuel/gas tanks (the only way the city can dispose of it is if the tank has been cut in half and cleaned out). **These items are regulated by the DEP/EPA and need to be disposed of according to EPA guidelines.
