Garbage Collection

The Town of Warrenton collects household garbage once weekly.  Because collection generally begins in the dark it would be helpful if residents would place containers in a conspicuous location where our workers can find them.  Garbage must be bagged; loose garbage in cans will not be collected.  The maximum amount that will be collected is four standard garbage cans; more than that is considered commercial.  Cans should be covered and not allowed to collect water as cans with water will not be collected and will breed mosquitoes.  Dogs must be housed, penned or tied or garbage will not be collected.  Please understand that your pet does not know our sanitation workers and will protect your property against strangers.

Sanitation workers will pick up normal household garbage.  They will not pick up animal litter or waste, furniture, carpet/flooring material, insulation, construction debris, old wood, used oil and oil filters, antifreeze, white goods, tires, lead acid batteries or any clearly hazardous materials. 

If you have any special household trash pickup needs you may contact Town Hall at 257-3315 prior to 4:30PM and we will discuss those needs.
