Refuse/Garbage Collection

Flood Brothers will provide a free 95-gallon refuse cart to each household receiving curbside refuse collection via exclusive franchise contract with the City. Alternate sizes are available for residents to switch out of the default 95-gallon size. Additional carts can be rented through Flood Brothers by contacting our office, a monthly rental fee will be applied. Residents have the option to utilize their own refuse containers, they must be properly contained in cans or bags, and not to exceed 35 gallons in size or 50 pounds in weight per can or bag, or large items that cannot be containerized. Refuse which is not readily storable in refuse containers will be collected by Flood Brothers if it is stacked neatly alongside of refuse containers on regular refuse collection days. There will be no limit on the number of containers placed out for collection by a given household, provided all containers meet the requirements above.

In order for an approved yard waste or leaf container to be collected, each acceptable container must be properly designated with a City yard waste decal, which shall mean that it has a yard waste decal exclusively supplied by the City securely and visibly affixed. Paper yard waste bags may be used but need not bear a decal.
