DM Disposal Contract News

The City has entered into a new 10-year contract with DM Disposal for garbage, recycling, and yard waste services that will take effect April 1, 2020. Due to costs outpacing inflation over the last 10-year contract, new rates will apply, which depending on the service option may be a significant increase. DM Disposal will be sending information in late January regarding the new rates and options on container sizes. As part of the new service, DM will provide new containers for both garbage and yard waste to all residential customers. These containers, along with a new fleet of trucks, will allow the drivers to no longer have to physically lift containers to dump them. In addition, DM will no longer have a weekly residential service option. The change to every other week service, automated carts, and a new improved fleet of trucks will provide great benefits to our community. There will be less wear and tear to the streets, less air and noise pollution, better tracking of service performance, and no more missing container lids! Please watch out for further details from DM Disposal in late January via the mail to select your service option.
