Important Public NoticeCity of Kemmerer - Sanitation Container Policies | |
| Since the implementation of the automated garbage system in 1992, the following Kemmerer City Codes have been in place. This is a reminder of what the City Codes require: All items placed in City of Kemmerer sanitation cans should be in plastic bags. If garbage is not bagged, including lawn clippings and other household refuse, it is possible that the container may not be emptied. Recurrence could result in possible fines. Containers should be placed at the designated pick-up place by 6 a.m. on the morning of your regular pick-up.
Vehicles should not be parked near the containers on your collection day. If the sanitation truck is unable to get to your can, it will not be dumped and an additional fee will be charged to return to dump it.
The container should have the opening facing toward the street/alley with the lid closed. Do not overfill.
Containers damaged by negligence or abuse will be charged to the homeowner at cost.
| PLEASE SEPARATE RECYCLABLES!!!!! To save landfill space, the Kemmerer Landfill is baling all municipal solid waste (MWS) before it is buried in the landfill. A baler compresses the waste into a rectangular bale which is tied with wire. While the landfill has always required patrons to sort waste, the baler makes it much more important as a number of prohibited items can damage the baler.
The following items cannot be placed in your City of Kemmerer sanitation can for pickup: * Dirt, sod, cement, brick, tile * Flammable materials such as gas, oil and paint * Concrete * Hot ashes * Tree limbs * Debris from construction, remodeling or demolition * Batteries * Metal, pipe, wire or conduit * Liquids * Fiberglass (poles, insulation, sheets, etc.) * Fluorescent bulbs * E-waste While these items cannot be placed in your garbage can for collection as municipal waste, they can be taken to the landfill. In addition to construction and demolition waste, there is a brush pile for yard waste and a number of recycling containers including containers for motor oil and for cooking oil. E-waste is also recycled. (At this time, they do not do plastics).
