If you are doing a major cleaning job at home and have a lot of garbage to dispose of, you can do one of the following:

1.  Place garbage in 33-gallon garbage cans/bags with a garbage sticker on each can/bag.  There is no limit as to the number of cans/bags you can place out for collection by the garbage truck as long as they are properly stickered.

2.  Take your items to the Bremer County Landfill (352-4574) and pay by the ton ($35.75/ton with a $10.00 minimum). 

3(a).  Rent a 2 cubic yard dumpster for garbage/junk:
         $ 45 – 1st full dumpster of garbage
         $ 30 – Each full dumpster thereafter
         Rental can be for up to 30 days
         Dumpster can be emptied every day if needed (excluding weekends)

EXAMPLE:  If you fill a 2 cubic yard dumpster only one time, your total charge will be $45.  If you fill a 2 cubic yard dumpster a total of two times, your total charge will be $75.

3(b).  Rent a 2 cubic yard dumpster for shingles:
         $90.00 – 1st full dumpster shingles
         $75.00 – Each full dumpster thereafter
