City Council
Council meetings are held on the first and third Mondays of each month at City Hall at 6:30 p.m. Any changes to this schedule will be in the Mediapolis News.
Refuse Collection
The residential refuse collection is on Wednesday and is provided by LaVeine Sanitation Service, Inc. Each resident is provided either a 95 or 65-Gallon Trashcan. For major clean ups, call City Hall or the City Shop to request a dumpster. The charge for the service will appear on your water bill. Dumpster fees are $30 for a small, $35 for a medium, and $40 for a large. The fee is charged each time the dumpster is emptied. Please use common sense when loading as overloading may result in the dumpster not being picked up and/or an additional charge. Large items such as furniture, carpet cut into reasonable lengths, etc. may be scheduled for curbside pick up on Tuesday or Friday with a minimal fee. The last Tuesday of the month is when appliances, air conditioners, batteries, or any other large metal items are picked up. Please call City Hall if you need either of these services. Latex paint cans can be collected with regular refuse as long as the lids are removed and the paint has been solidified with sand or kitty litter. No yard waste can be picked up with regular refuse. There are dumpsters marked "YARD WASTE ONLY" between the two northernmost Quonset huts across from the elementary school. If a holiday falls on a Wednesday, refuse collection will be on Thursday. Burning refuse is never allowed.
