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.

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.
