Dumpster Rental Request

Residents may also contact the city office and request a dumpster, per the following requirements:

• Dumpsters will be allowed to be kept for a two week (14 calendar days) period.
  • If the requestor needs the dumpster for longer than two weeks, they must call the city office to make arrangements and any extension(s) will be based on availability.
  • If there are no open dumpsters at the end of the two week period and the individual still needs one, they may be put on a waiting list and a new dumpster will be delivered such a time one becomes available. (City Clerk will call to find out if they still need a dumpster before delivery.
  • Extensions will be granted for a 5 calendar day period (further extensions will be subject to availability rules).
• When the dumpster is full or resident is finished with it, the resident must call the city office to request that it be emptied. If the two week limit has been met, the city will have the dumpster emptied and it will be removed from the requestor’s property (regardless of how full the dumpster is even if the renter has not called for disposal).
• The requestor must come to the city office, in person, to sign the form stating the requirements to rent a city owned dumpster. No dumpsters will be delivered until the form is fully completed. (Form could be mailed, emailed, or submitted online, but NO delivery until returned complete).
• The hauler will determine which items are acceptable for placement in the dumpster (except those prohibited by law).

When a completed form is received, the clerk will notify city employees that a request has been made. Upon satisfactory inspection of the finished form (by employee completing delivery), the dumpster will be delivered and the clerk will record the delivery date and the date it is to be emptied/collected.

A clipboard (or other means of record) will be kept in the city shop so that the employees can keep track of when a dumpster needs to be collected. They will work with the clerk to coordinate delivery and pick-up to ease communication in case the resident has questions.

The city clerk will keep a binder with all completed request forms and will it be available for review by any city council member upon request.

• NO appliances or electronics are allowed to be disposed of in dumpsters.
• NO hazardous waste or fluorescent bulbs may be placed in dumpster.
• NO tires allowed in dumpster.
• NO yard waste allowed in dumpsters
• Mattresses and box springs will be subject to additional fees.

Dumpsters needed for anything other than small projects which may require more than a two week period, it is suggested that the resident contact a commercial hauler.
