A few rules of thumb to remember, containers cannot be over 65 LB., no yardwaste is allowed to be mixed with refuse. Place containers in a location that can be easily seen from the street. Place broken glass and sharp objects in a separate container that is marked appropriately. | | back to top | |
In the months of April, July, and October the Public Works Department will conduct a bulky item pick-up.
These are items that are too large to fit into the refuse packer. Items must be placed along the curb, no sooner than the Saturday before the Bulky item pick-up.

Sugar Creek's recycling program is another example of our city's progressive approach to city services. The city picks up your recyclable items on the same day that your refuse is collected. Acceptable items include:
- Newspaper
- HDPE plastic
- PETE plastic

There is no need to separate the items. Just set out your bin by 7:00 a.m., next to your refuse container. A separate city vehicle collects the recycling materials.
