City of Bellefontaine Refuse Public Notice

• Refuse Collection is an “Essential Service”.  During this public health crisis it is imperative more than ever that we follow established policies to ensure the safety of our drivers who complete this work and to ensure that it will continue. 
  
• Customers who use the “Blue Bags” option – make sure that the bag is securely closed and not overfilled so that it might break when picked up.
• Customer who use trash container options – All trash must be contained in regular trash bags, no loose trash in the can.  The lid needs to fit securely – all additional trash will need to be in a blue bag set beside the container. 
• There will be NO Bulk Items collected during the Governor’s Stay at Home Order.
• Recycling needs to be sorted – paper and cardboard in one bin; glass, plastics and metal containers in a separate bin.  If you currently have just one bin – you may set out a similar size rubber maid like tub to separate these items or alternate and set out your paper one week and your containers a different week.
• Non-compliance will result in your items left at the curb and there will be no call-backs.

Thank you for all your efforts and considerations – help us to keep Bellefontaine, our residents and working employees safe!
