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 bagged and/or in a trash container with handles.
