VILLAGE OF CAPRON

REFUSE, RECYCLING AND YARD WASTE SERVICES: The pickup day for your refuse, recyclable and yard waste materials will be on Thursdays. Please have all refuse, recyclable and yard waste items at the curb by 6:00am on Thursdays. The services offered by MDC Environmental Services are as follows:

LEVELS OF SERVICE:
1.  Residents may choose the level of service appropriate for their own household needs. Depending upon the level of service selected, MDC will supply a 95 gallon, 65 gallon or 35 gallon garbage cart. While there is no cost for the use of the cart, the cart does remain the property of MDC and must be made available for pick-up by MDC if the resident moves or cancels service. Residents will be assessed the then current cost for any carts not returned to MDC.


All service levels include recycling. Residents ages 62 and older are eligible for Senior Rates.

PLEASE CONTACT MDC FOR CURRENT SERVICE RATES.

ADDITIONAL/EXTRA REFUSE
Please contact our office 24 hours prior to your pickup to arrange for a special pickup for any refuse in excess of your service level per week. There is an extra charge for this service. If you require an estimate, service will be provided within one week after the estimate is given.

LANDSCAPE WASTE COLLECTION SERVICES
Landscape waste service is available mid-April through November.

In order to participate in the landscape waste collection program, residents must contact MDC and pay an annual subscription fee. In addition, each landscape waste bag/container/bundle placed for collection must have a tag (sticker) attached to the bag/container/bundle. Landscape tags may be mail ordered through our office. Contact our office for pricing. Please send a check for the number of tags you wish to purchase (minimum order of 6) and a self-addressed stamped envelope to our office. We will return the appropriate quantity of tags to you.

LANDSCAPE WASTE MUST BE CONTAINED AS FOLLOWS:

  • Kraft (paper) type 32 gallon bags.
  • Rigid cans not exceeding 50 pounds. 
  • Branches must be tied into bundles not exceeding four (4) ft. long and two (2) ft. in diameter. 
  • Each item must have a tag attached in order to be collected. Please make sure the tags are visible from the road.

Please leave yard waste at the curbside by 6:00am on Thursdays.

CURBSIDE RECYCLING SERVICE INFORMATION
MDC will provide an 18 gallon recycle bin to use for recycling.

PREPARING RECYCLABLES: Make sure that recyclables are clean and all containers such as cans and bottles are empty. Contaminated recyclables cannot be recycled and will end up in landfill which defeats the purpose of recycling. You do not need to divide recycling into individual groups.
