Bremer County Landfill:

If you choose to take your garbage or any bulky items or construction material directly to the Bremer County Landfill, please tarp all contents that are placed in an open pickup truck to prevent loss of material.  Any load that is not tarped and contained will be turned away or charged an additional fee.  This includes individual items such as a refrigerator.  The Bremer County Landfill does not accept any yard waste, brush or trees.  Go to the  Bremer County Landfill site for information on their new Customer Convenience Center (CCC).

Special Pickup Service for Large/Bulky Items:

The City does provide a Special Pickup Service of large/bulky items at a charge of $20 per load at any time during the year.  (See Yard Waste Section for Special Pickup of yard waste.)  Landfill fees for the large/bulky items will be an additional charge.  The item(s) scheduled for a Special Pickup will need to be placed at your curb.  Listed below is an example of charges for a Special Pickup.  Call 352-6247 if you have any questions or if you would like to schedule a Special Pickup.

 Example:

  
   Refrigerator $ 15.00 
   Television (19" & under)    12.00
   Special Pickup Charge    20.00
       Total Charge $ 47.00


Special Collection Week:

One week is scheduled in the spring of each year for the removal of large/bulky items placed at the curb of Waverly residents.  During this week, the $20 Special Pickup fee is waived, but each resident does need to pay the landfill charges listed under the above "Bulky Item Charges" table.  This payment needs to be made in City Hall at the Public Works Administration office prior to this Special Collection Week.  Yard Waste is also picked up during this week and the following week.

The Special Collection Week for 2011 is scheduled for the week of May 2-6 (large/bulky items and yard waste & brush).  The following week of May 9-13 is scheduled for just yard waste and brush.  Please see further details in the Spring '11 Newsletter article.  Reminder:  Biodegradable bags are required for yard waste collection.

Appliances, televisions, computers, monitors, printers, furniture, carpeting, tires, etc. are not picked up by the garbage truck.  You may dispose of these items by taking them to one of the following locations or by scheduling a Special Pickup (See information on Special Pickups further down on this page).  These items are then recycled by an independent recycling company.
