Garbage Collection

The Town of Warrenton collects household garbage once weekly. Waste containers should be positioned on the side or rear of the premises, away from the front yard and curbside areas. 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.  

Each property is permitted to dispose of waste using up to four (4) containers, each with a maximum capacity of 60 gallons. All containers must be fitted with secure lids or covers and maintained free of standing water. All waste placed in containers must be properly bagged and securely tied; loose garbage will not be collected. Pets on the property must be secured to allow for safe collection. Failure to adhere to these guidelines may result in missed collection services.

Sanitation workers will pick up normal household garbage only. Animal litter or waste, furniture, carpet or flooring, insulation, construction debris, old wood, used oil and oil filters, antifreeze, appliances, tires, lead, acid batteries or any clearly hazardous materials will not be picked up.

If you have any special household trash pickup needs, you may contact Town Hall at 252-257-3315 during business hours (8:30 to 4:30) to discuss those needs.
