The City offers several programs for neighborhood and civic groups to get involved in their community to remove blight and perform litter control. These programs include:

• Dumpster Program
• Blue Bag Program
• Tire Amnesty Program
• Adopt-a-Street Program

Dumpster Program

From May through October, neighborhood groups registered with the City can obtain dumpsters at a reduced cost. Registered neighborhoods can begin submitting request forms for dumpsters March 2, 2020. Dumpsters must be used for neighborhood clean-up events only. Funding for the dumpsters is limited; therefore, dumpsters are available on a first-come, first-served basis. The cost for each 40 cubic yard dumpster is $60.

Email Robert Woods for more information about the city’s Neighborhood Cleanup Assistance Program (NCAP) or download a Dumpster Request Form.

General information guidelines for using the dumpsters:

• Dumpsters will be placed at the designated location before 8 a.m. and removed by 12 p.m. or whenever the dumpster is full. Please notify contractor when the dumpster is full.
• Dumpsters must be monitored until they are hauled away. This avoids illegal dumping
• Do not overload the dumpsters or allow materials to stick over the top
• Please clean the area after the dumpster has been removed

Leaf and brush dumpster guidelines:

• Only leaves and brush are allowed in the dumpster.
• Yard debris must be in a paper lawn bag or a cardboard box.
• Tree limbs can be up to 10″ in diameter and 6′ in length.
• Please do not place plastic bags or trash in the dumpster. The State of Missouri does not allow leaves and brush in the landfill.

Trash dumpster guidelines:

• Dumpsters are for common household trash only.
• Please do not place leaves and brush, tires, household hazardous waste or appliances in the dumpster.
