ABOUT THEPOLICYHOW IT WILL HELPWELLSTON

The administration of the City of Wellston

has been adamant about making a

positive difference in improving the

appearance of our City. These cans will

help keep garbage neat and orderly.

Additionally, the City is experiencing

issues with garbage being put out

improperly (such as, not in a container).

Finally, our newest garbage truck is

equipped to be compatible with toter lift

technology. This makes collection safer,

easier, and more efficient for both our

citizens and our employees.

Cans are owned by the City of Wellston.

The garbage can is registered to your property

and will remain with your property as long as

the City provides the service, even if property

ownership changes.

This is a "perpetual" garbage can.

The City will replace your garbage can in

case of damage or theft; please contact

the Police Department ASAP to report such

incidents.

Each garbage customer willreceive one 95 gallon can.*
