TIPS FOR PROPER CAN PLACEMENT

  1. Do not block. In order to keep cost down and our drivers safe, many if not most of our new truck uses an automated arm to collect the trash from the curb. It is very important that the carts are not blocked by vehicles or other obstructions that can prevent the truck’s arm from easily reaching the carts.
  2. Give the carts some room. Whether you have one or multiple carts, you should always leave a minimum of 2-3 feet between the cart and other objects (additional carts, mailboxes, trees, etc.) Always ensure the carts are visible for the driver to see and service. The best placement for a cart is at the end of the driveway or on the grass within 2-3 feet from the road and any other objects.
  3. Carts should open towards the street. Do not place your carts sideways or backwards at the curb. The lids should always open towards the street to prevent damage to the lid/cart. The arrows on the lid should always point toward the street as pictured below.

Those living on a dead-end will no longer be able to put their cans at the end of the street as pictured below. Cans need to be accessible to the side arm. These cans should be placed on either side of the street.

According to Chapter 50.03, “…cans shall be kept water-tight, that all garbage must be bagged and fit into the can with the lid shut…” The two examples below will NOT be picked up in the future. These homeowners will most likely need to order a second trash can. New receptacles can be ordered by calling the Water Department at 740-384-2040. ADDITIONAL BAGS WILL NO LONGER BE PICKED UP AT ANY TIME; ALL BAGS MUST FIT INSIDE THE CAN WITH A CLOSED LID. The arm can actually spill these overflowing cans.

WHEN IS MY TRASH DAY?

NEED A NEW CAN?

Replacement and additional cans are delivered weekly!

New cans and replacement cans can be obtained by contacting the City Clerk’s Office.

Additional cans are $6 per month

If your can has been stolen, first contact WPD (740-384-2171) and file a police report. Next, contact the City Clerk. Inform the Clerk of the theft and place an order for a replacement can.

If your can has been broken, contact the City Clerk and order a repair or replacement.

MY TRASH WAS MISSED

If your trash was missed, contact the City Clerk

Place your can(s) at the curb the evening before your scheduled trash day. Cans that are overflowing or placed to close to vehicles, utility poles, etc., will not be picked up due to the automated arm.

Sometimes accidents happen! We may have missed you, or vice-versa.

I HAVE EXTRA ITEMS THAT WILL NOT FIT IN MY CAN

Extra bags and large items, such as mattresses, furniture, etc., must be scheduled in advance for your regular trash day. At least 3 days notice should be given for large items. Contact the City Clerk to schedule your additional pick-up.
