Waste Management will pick up trash every Thursday, unless there is a holiday. Trash is not to be put out before 4pm on Wednesday, or the day before trash pickup if there is a holiday. Trash cannot be guaranteed to be picked up if it is not set out by 7am on the day of pickup. The trash can should be facing out (there is an arrow on the lid showing which way faces the street). Trash should be set 3-5 feet from the edge of the street. For service information, please contact Waste Management at (855) 852-7110.
The utility bill covers for 1 trash can per residence. If you want to add a second trash can, please contact Waste Management.
There is a recycle center located at 180 S. Cleveland for Town Residents only. Please do not stack recycling outside of the bin. Please only paper and plastic products. The Tipton County Recycling Center accepts all recycling material, including electronics. They can be reached at (765) 675-9006.
