Each household in the City of Staunton has a city-owned trash bin (95-gallon or 45-gallon) that stays with the address. The city's trucks are retrofitted with mechanical tippers and we're using route optimization software to improve service efficiency.  Residential trash collection is safer, more efficient, and a more environmentally conscious system. 

The city has updated its solid waste policies, which will be in alignment with the new collection system. Residents whose trash is not set out correctly will receive a hangtag with tips for correction and notice of the violation.

Monthly yard waste collection occurs on the first Wednesday of the month, unless otherwise note, and is only for those customers who have obtained the specialized bin. 

These changes do not impact recycling — which is still located at the Public Works Compound, 1911 Craigmont Rd.
