Garbage and Recycling Services
As part of the utility services that are provided to our residents, the City will arrange for a wheeled trash receptacle to be delivered to your residence.
City of Hart Garbage Pickup
Garbage pickup is every Tuesday.
The City asks that you place your trash container at the curbside the evening prior to or early in the morning. Please note that you are allowed one cart full and three (3) bags of trash. We ask that you not exceed this amount. You may contact Republic directly to acquire an additional garbage container at a cost of $22.95, payable directly to Republic.
If the scheduled day for pickup is a holiday, regular service resumes the next business day. If your trash was not picked up as scheduled, please call Republic Services at 877-698-7274.
Please see the following link for more information on accessing your account at Republic for additional services.
