Refuse Containers:  Residents may select one of three options: 35 gallon cart, 65 gallon cart, or 95 gallon cart picked up weekly.  P.I.G. will only pick up refuse that is placed in the cart.   P.I.G. picks up refuse on all holidays except Christmas.  If Christmas is on your regularly scheduled pick-up day, P.I.G. will pick up on the next business day.

Recycling Containers:  Residents are provided a 65 gallon cart with a yellow top that clearly distinguishes the refuse and recycling containers.  All recyclable materials can be commingled in this cart.  P.I.G. will not pick up any recycling that is not placed into the cart.  Residents can choose to place their containers out weekly or as needed when the container is full.  Pierce County recycling has also placed recycling bins at the City Shop (1109 Jefferson Street).  Residents may also drop their recyclable items at these bins.

When will my refuse and recycling be picked up? Refuse and recycling will be picked up either on Wednesday or Thursday.  Please see the attached map.  All refuse and recycling must be placed at the curb before 6:00 a.m. on your day of pick-up.  The carts must be placed 10 feet apart from each other to allow the equipment P.I.G. uses to pick up each cart.

What is the cost for refuse and recycling?  The fees for refuse and recycling for 2011 are:

35 gallon cart refuse/65 gallon cart recycling

$37 per quarter

65 gallon cart refuse/65 gallon cart recycling

What if I have a large item to dispose of or I can't fit all my refuse in the container?  Residents can contact P.I.G. at (715) 792-5209 to contract with P.I.G. for the disposal of these items.

What if my refuse/recycling isn't picked up?  If your refuse/recycling was placed at the curb prior to 6:00 a.m. on the day of pick up and P.I.G. did not pick it up, please call P.I.G. at (715) 792-5209 to schedule a pick up.
