Purchase a Trash or Yard Waste Toter

New service for trash pick-up requires that service be purchased on the trash toter of your choice as follows: 96 gallon – $80; 64 gallon – $70; or 48 gallon – $65. We can usually deliver your toter by the next business day (no Saturday or Sunday delivery). If you need service on a second trash toter, you will need to purchase service on the second trash toter as stated above. Additionally, service on a second trash toter is subject to a monthly fee as follows: $9/month for 96 gallon; $7/month for 64 gallon; $5/month for 48 gallon. The monthly fee will become part of your Columbus City Utilities bill.

If requested, we will also deliver a recycling toter. There is no charge for service on a 96 gallon recycling toter. We also have recycling toters in other sizes, however you must call the office at 812-376-2508 or 812-376-2509 for additional information.

Note: All City toters must remain with the property.
