Division of Solid Waste and Recycling

The Division of Solid Waste and Recycling is responsible for managing the operation & maintenance of the Bath Landfill and the City's curbside collection of residential trash and recycling. 

Trash Collection

Place trash and recycling at your curb no later than 7:00 AM the day of your collection and no earlier than 6:00 PM the night before. Trash or recycling that has been disturbed by wind or animals is considered litter. It will not be picked up by the contractor and is the responsibility of the occupant.
