“All solid waste must be in the container. Boxes should be no more than level full so the driver is able to tarp. We have had problems with materials that are not allowed being hidden in the bottom of boxes. When we get to the land fill we have had serious problems getting unloaded. If this happens, the box will be returned back to the Village for removal of the materials and will be charged to pull it the second time”- Schaben Sanitation
The Village will also be taking tires – up to 10 per person for an additional charge of $10.00
