Solid Waste Collection Information<\/h3>\n

The (Solid Waste) \u2013 (Sanitation) \u2013 (Garbage) Division is responsible for collection and transportation of most residential solid waste generated within the City of Fond du Lac. Garbage collection is collected weekly in the solid green\/teal carts throughout the City of Fond du Lac. For safety and liability reasons, no loose trash will be collected outside the garbage cart as the attendant is not allowed to exit the vehicle during pick-ups.\u00a0 Residential garbage collection automatically transfers over with each homeowner, meaning, it is not necessary to cancel or start-up this service.\u00a0 This service is offered through the City to residential properties only.\u00a0 Commercial properties must obtain their own service contracts through other carriers.<\/p>\n

Overfilled carts will not be collected.\u00a0 If the lid can’t close, it’s overfilled.\u00a0 Overweight carts will not be collected.\u00a0 As a general rule of thumb, if you struggle to maneuver the cart, it is too heavy.\u00a0 Yard waste, electronics, tires and hazardous materials are not allowed in the collection carts.\u00a0 Please see this page<\/a> for options of disposing of these types items.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Carts must be out by 5:00 A.M. on the scheduled day of collection. Residents may place carts to curb on the evening prior to their assigned collection day and must be removed from the curb by 9:00 a.m. of the day following collection. Carts need to be placed along the curb line (out of the road) immediately adjacent to the property which has generated the waste.
