Sanitation & Recycling

The City of Slater contracts with an outside waste management company for solid waste collection. Everyone within the city limits is required to have garbage collection, curbside every Thursday by 7:00 a.m.

The City has entered into a new five year contract with Rural Trash Service (RTS), with that there will be some changes:
> Residential cost will be $15.00 per month ($14 RTS-$1.50 City)
> Residential limits of 3 cans (65 gallon or less) OR 5 bags weighing 40lbs or less.
Anything over these limits will be billed to residents by RTS.
> RTS will dump, as a courtesy 55 gallon barrels as long as they have handles, not exceeding 40lbs weight limit, have smooth rim and drainage holes in bottom.
> Barrels placed with trash not meeting these requirements will be considered trash and disposed of.
> Only outdoor trash cans will be dumped, all others will be considered waste.
> NO construction materials are covered under residential pickup.
> ALL commercial accounts including hand pickups will be billed by RTS.

BULK PICK UP

Bulk pickup will be the 1st pickup each month.

> RTS will provide monthly bulk pickup for CITY residents (non-commercial accounts) on the first pickup of the month. Bulk items are limited to the size and weight that two (2) men can pick up and load. Items to be collected include: televisions, couches, tables, chairs and other furniture, bed springs and mattresses, rugs and rug pads, lawn furniture, large toys, swing sets (dismantled) barbecue grills, sinks and bathroom furniture. *(Not piles of bags from house clean outs). There is no additional charge for the 1 bulk item on the first pickup of the month. Additional bulk items may be picked up at any time by making arrangements with the RTS Office at 660-784-2474, additional fees may apply. Items to be collected during bulk pickup are residential household type items and must be generated by that household. Property clean-ups by landlords or any type of commercial property items are not part of this bulk pickup. Those must be contracted seperately through the RTS office.

THESE CHANGES WILL BE EFFECTIVE ON THE JULY 1st
UTILITIES BILLING CYCLE.
