Sanitation & Recycling Division

SANITATION

Household garbage is collected utilizing an automated garbage collection system. One roll-out cart is provided at no charge. All household garbage must be set out in your cart unless a handicapped exemption has been granted. The serial number printed on the cart identifies the cart with the assigned address. The cart remains the property of the City of Glasgow. If you move, the cart must remain at it's assigned address or call Public Works at 678-4302 or 651-5977 to have the cart picked-up. When a new resident moves in, a cart will be delivered to the location.

Cart Use Guidelines

• Cart must be positioned at the edge of the curb and at least three feet away from other carts, walls, buildings, poles, etc.—do not block sidewalks.
• Do not overload the cart (maximum load 200 lbs). This will cause unnecessary damage to carts.
• No household garbage in plastic bags outside the cart.
• Do not place hot ashes, paint, solvents, oil, liquids or any kind, hot charcoal, batteries, hazardous waste, construction debris, auto parts, junk items, dirt or rocks or any other items not normally found in household waste in the cart.

• Remove the cart from curbside after emptied.
