Other Information
Reminder—All waste (garbage) must be in a garbage bag when placed in the collection bins (Polycart or dumpsters) – In certain instances, a full-size garbage truck cannot access a waste customer’s service area with heavy snow or ice accumulation. In this case, the department may use a pickup truck that cannot collect loose items, which could blow out the back of the truck.
Please ensure the department can access your garbage containers (Polycarts or dumpsters). If they are blocked by snow or a vehicle, your waste will not be picked up.
Reminder—Property owners must keep sidewalks clear – The City of Buckhannon urges all residents to exercise caution during winter weather. We also remind all residents that (per Ordinance 193 enacted by the council in 1982) property owners are responsible for removing and clearing all snow and ice accumulating on sidewalks abutting or adjoining their premises. Together, we can keep our sidewalks clear and residents safe.
