Effective 2013, the City of Wadsworth Sanitation Department no longer works on designated holidays. The department will run a day behind all week, finishing up on Saturdays.

The system allows the Sanitation Department to more efficiently collect Solid Waste from the residents by utilizing the latest technology in garbage collection trucks. One operator can service more homes than a crew of two did before.

 Larger containers can be used-usually 80 to 99 gallons. Lifting is done mechanically resulting in fewer injuries and less labor costs.

Each City resident has a 96 or 65 gallon wheeled cart. The monthly fees are currently $15 per 96 gallon container and $12 per 65 gallon container. View non-resident rates.
