Monthly Garbage Pickup and Recycling Charges
(Effective July 1, 2011)

Garbage Pickup Rules

The Town of Youngsville contracts through Waste Industries, Inc. for garbage pickup.  All household garbage must be in roll carts provided by Waste Industries and placed at curbside by 7am on Tuesday mornings.  ALL garbage needs to be in bags inside the roll cart to prevent spillage.  No free floating ashes, packaging peanuts, shredded paper, etc.  No cardboard, building materials or yard waste is allowed in the roll carts.  These conditions must be met for household garbage to be picked up.  If you are unable to get your roll cart to the curbside because you are elderly or disabled, please contact Town Hall to get on the back door service list. 

Recycling Rules

Curbside recycling operates every other Tuesday.. Allowable items are: Plastic bottles (numbers 1-7, No oils or pesticides); Glass - brown and clear; Aluminum and steel cans, and newspapers.  No plastic bags allowed (Most grocery stores and Wal-marts have a place for recycling plastic bags close to the front of the store).
