Trash Carts
The Sanitation Division is responsible for collection and hauling of residential refuse. Trash must be out by 7:00 a.m. on your designated day. Carts will not be picked up if yard waste or construction material is in the cart. City ordinance requires only the collection of refuse in the cart. Extra refuse will be picked up if bags are marked with a sticker that is purchased at City Hall. Note: Bags must fall within the weight and size guidelines as stated on the sticker.
The City of Monett uses an automated collection system where an operator in the cab activates a mechanical arm on the side of the truck to lift and empty the trash cart. Automated collection is more efficient, environmentally friendly, safer and economical than manual collection. Some collection routes may change from alley to street collection. Any route changes will be communicated to residents to ensure everyone knows their pickup location, Street or Alley.
RESTRICTIONS: The lid on your cart should close fully. The maximum weight of the cart should NOT EXCEED 130 LBS. Overloaded carts that result in damage to the cart will not be the responsibility of the City of Monett. Current re-placement costs are $65.00. per cart. All damages will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
All regular household garbage may be placed inside the cart. You can use any type of garbage bags from small to large. Waste should be bagged and tied. This will prevent garbage from becoming airborne as well as helping to keep your cart cleaner. Anything placed in the cart must be able to fall freely when dumped. DO NOT STUFF THE CART TIGHT WITH GARBAGE.
Please keep in mind that everyone is given a designated pick-up day, NOT a time due to many variables such as manpower, equipment malfunctions/breakdowns, weather, truck loading variables etc.. All carts should be out ready for pick-up by 7:00 AM on your designated day.
Please insure a minimum of THREE FEET clearance on all sides of the cart.
