Ryland Environmental operates mechanical right-hand routing on all residential routes because it is much safer.
Each resident is provided one 95-gallon trash can for collection of bagged household trash.
All other items must be taken to the Worth County Transfer Station.
Residents may request additional carts for a fee by contacting the Solid Waste office.
Residents that are unable to take their garbage carts to the roadside may qualify for back door service. Contact the Solid Waste office for details.
In order to receive the best service possible, please observe the following:
