GARBAGE DISPOSAL:Garbage is picked up once a week for Waverly residents and the commercial customers using garbage stickers in lieu of a dumpster. If you are unsure as to the day your garbage is picked up, call the Public Services Division at 352-6247 (or 352-9065). The garbage trucks start collection at 7:00 a.m. each day. Your garbage should be out by this time. Placement of Garbage:• Alley, if you have an alley, or
• Street curb next to your driveway, if you have no alley.
• Call Public Services at 352-6247 if you are not sure where your garbage should be placed.
Garbage Cans / Bags & Garbage Stickers:
- Use garbage cans or bags of no more than 33-gallon capacity that weigh no more than 50 pounds each.
- Each can or bag of no more than a 33-gallon capacity needs a garbage sticker placed on it. (The 1st can or bag is not free.) This is your way of paying for your garbage by volume and to encourage recycling.
- If using a garbage can, place a garbage sticker on a top item in the can. Several small plastic grocery bags can be placed in a garbage can with one garbage sticker placed on the top bag. Do not overfill your garbage can. The lid should be able to fit on top. If you place an extra bag of garbage outside or on top of your garbage can, you will also need to place a garbage sticker on this bag(s).
- If you choose to use an over-sized garbage can of more than 33 gallons (such as a 45-gallon container) you will need 2 garbage stickers if the can is more than 3/4 full and 1 garbage sticker if the can is less than 3/4 full. The total weight of the over-sized container should not be more than 50 pounds.
- If using garbage bag(s) alone, place a garbage sticker on each bag. We suggest folding it in half around the neck of the bag, locking the sticky ends together. This will ensure that it will stay on during cold and windy weather. Do not wrap the tag completely around the neck of the bag, but make sure there is a "flag" from the neck of the bag.
- Always make sure that the garbage sticker is in plain view for the garbage collectors. If they find no garbage sticker, your garbage will not be picked up.
