12/31/18 - Trash Service Disruption

Due to challenges presented by our recent snowfall, North End Disposal is having difficulties with trash pickup at most alley, and many curbside, locations.

The County is providing alternative disposal locations to assist residents who might need other options. A roll-off dumpster is CURRENTLY located at the corner of 3rd & Kingsley, and another will be located at the Fairgrounds parking lot in the near future. We will share this information again when the Fairgrounds location has been set.

***Note that these alternatives locations are to only be used for typical household trash streams, and not to be used for disposal of hazardous materials, electronics, tires, furniture, etc.***
