City will provide new containers at no additional cost
Madison, Indiana (June 20, 2024) –The City of Madison is excited to announce the rollout of new garbage collection containers as part of the Transfer Station Operations Modernization Plan, commencing by October 1, 2024. This initiative aims to keep our city clean, safe, and beautiful by eliminating trash bags and loose items from the curb while reducing employee injuries caused by hazards such as heavy lifting and sharp objects.
“We are dedicated to maintaining a clean, safe, and beautiful community for all residents. Through initiatives like the Transfer Station Operations Modernization Plan, the city continues to improve services and infrastructure, enhancing the quality of life for its citizens,” said Madison’s Mayor Bob Courtney.
The city will provide new containers at no additional cost, delivering them directly to each property. Each container will feature a barcode identifying the property address. The city will also handle the disposal of old or non-compatible containers.
The new garbage collection containers come with several key features designed to improve convenience and efficiency. Containers are available in 95, 65, and 35-gallon sizes, allowing property owners to select the size that best meets their needs, with a short trial period to make adjustments if necessary. Each container includes a 10-year warranty, ensuring durability. In case of damage outside the warranty, loss, or theft, property owners can obtain a replacement at their own expense. Additionally, property owners can request more than one container for an additional cost of $20 per month per container.
To select your preferred container size, please visit madison-in.gov/selectmycart. For those unable to access the site, please call the City Street Department at 812-265-8304 or pick up a form at City Hall, 101 W. Main Street. The selection site will be open until July 31.
Property owners can keep their current container if it is compatible with city garbage trucks, meaning it must have a lift bar and be no larger than 96 gallons. To do so, they must notify the City Street Department at 812-265-8304 to receive a compatibility sticker.
The city’s recycling program will remain unchanged, and current recycling containers can continue to be used
