GARBAGE AND RECYCLE POLICY
The City of Hills contracts with N&N Sanitation for garbage and recycling. There is a monthly fee for residential trash and recycling based upon the size of trash cart that you choose. Commercial properties are required to take care of their own trash and recycle services. A 65 gallon trash cart and a 65 gallon recycle cart is $19.50 per month. A 35 gallon trash cart and a 65 gallon recycle cart is $17.00 per month. (Every residence is provided a 65 gallon recycle cart).
Any garbage that does not fit into the cart needs to be in a bag no larger than 35 gallons with a 40 pound weight limit, placed on top of cart with lid closed and with 1 sticker on bag. One sticker is sold for $3.00 at the Hills City Office.
PICK UP SCHEDULE
Garbage and recycling are picked up on Tuesday mornings in Hills. If pick up falls on a holiday, changes will be posted. Carts need to be placed curbside by 7:00 am on the morning of pick up with the arrows on the lid pointing toward the street. The lid must be closed and have 4 feet of clearance around the cart so that the truck will be able to pick up the cart.
COMMUNITY CLEAN UP
The City hosts two Community Wide Clean-Ups, one in October and one in April. These are held on Saturdays at the Hills City Park parking lot.

Household appliances, televisions and computer monitors will be $10.00 each. Construction debris, paint or toxic waste, commercial appliances, tires, and household garbage is not allowed.
