Informational Flyer-Garbage 07 01 08 Late Days for Garbage ServiceCurb side garbage service occurs in Rock Falls on Thursday and Friday morning depending on your location within the city. Residents are advised to place their garbage out the night before the pick up days. There are certain holidays that move these days back a day, so if normal garbage service is supposed to be on Thursday and during the week one of these days fall, then garbage would be moved back to Friday. If normal garbage service is supposed to be picked up on Friday and one of these days fall, then garbage service will be on Saturday. Below is the list of days that adjusts pick up days for 2008.
Currently the following stores carry our garbage bags:
Recycle Bins The Recycle bins are available from the Customer Service office at City
Hall. New homes that are built in the city are provided one for
free. People looking to replace missing or damaged ones have to pay
for the bins, which are $9 a piece (last updated 03/06/08) . Dumpster Use Residents are disallowed by ordinance from having a dumpster at their residence all-year round. However residents can get a permit for a dumpster for $5 at the Building Department office. This permit allows any size dumpster to be placed on a residential lot within the City for 30 days. After the 30 days are up, then a resident can get another permit. Only two permits will be issued to any residence for any one year. |
