Trash & Yard Waste
The City of Almena provides solid waste collection and everyone within the city limits is required to have garbage collection picked up. There is a yard waste compost pile that residents can take their tree limbs, branches, grass clippings and leaves to- these items will not be picked up with the regular trash collection.
Regular Trash Day is every Tuesday. All trash must be set out curbside by 8:00am in order to be picked up that day. Trash must be in a trash container.
Polycarts are available for purchase through the city for $97/ea. Call 785-669-2425 for more information.
Dumpers are available for rental through the city and cost $25 per week (if only dumped once a week) or $25 per each emptying (for large cleanouts).
Call 785-669-2425 to rent a dumpster. Please be advised no construction debris are allowed in dumpster- trash only!
