Garbage Service Do's & Don'ts

The City of Boardman, along with its partner Sanitary Disposal Incorporated, provides safe and sanitary waste disposal for all residential, commercial, and industrial customers within the city limits of Boardman. Garbage containers are provided by the City of Boardman to its customers and are collected every Monday for residential customers, Mondays and Thursdays for commercial customers and every weekday for industrial customers. City officials are reminding residents to follow proper guidelines when disposing of garbage:

Do put out your garbage receptacle Sunday night or before 5:00 am Monday morning.
Do place your receptacle in front of your premises on the street immediately beside the property. They should not block traffic and should be promptly removed following collection.
Do put all garbage in plastic bags, tied shut, in the provided receptacle with the lid closed, or extra garbage charges may apply.
Do put out extra garbage next to your garbage receptacle for collection, bags tied tightly to avoid attracting animals. Extra garbage charges will apply.
Do sort out non-waxed cardboard, glass bottles and jars, tin, aluminum, and newspapers. These items can be taken to the city’s recycling depot on NW Columbia Avenue, near the Community Garden. This will reduce waste in your receptacle and help our environment.
Do clean your garbage receptacle on a regular basis to avoid noxious smells.
Do contact City Hall if your garbage receptacle is broken.
Do contact City Hall if your garbage was not picked up on the scheduled day.
Verify ashes are completely cold.

Don’t place bulky items curbside. Bulky items are non-vegetative items that cannot be containerized. Such items include appliances, furniture, and carpeting. Instead, contact City Hall to schedule a special pick-up. Additional charges may apply.
Don’t place automotive batteries, televisions, monitors, or other household electronics for garbage pickup. They must be taken to the Morrow County North End Transfer Station. Saturdays and Sundays, 9 am to 4 pm. Contact Morrow County Public Works at 541-989-9500 for more information.
Don’t place hazardous waste in your garbage container.
Don’t put more than 250 lbs in your garbage receptacle or it cannot be picked up. Commercial and industrial customers contact City Hall for weight limits.
Don’t pack garbage in a receptacle so tightly that it won’t come out when it is turned upside-down.
Don’t’ swap garbage receptacles with anyone else to avoid extra garbage charges that do not belong to you.
Don’t put coals, cooking oil, or other 'hot' items in your garbage receptacle.
No batteries
No laptops- these can be dropped off at our electronics drop at the entrance to the transfer station

Following these guidelines will help ensure the City of Boardman continues to be a clean and safe community for us all. If you have any questions regarding garbage service in Boardman, please contact City Hall 541-481-9252.
