TRASH PICKUP

• GFL will provide Winterset residents with wheeled poly carts at no charge. To order a poly cart, call GFL and be sure to identify yourself as a Winterset resident.
  • All household trash is to be placed in the covered trash container. By ensuring that your trash is properly contained, it ensures all of your trash will be disposed of. In addition, it helps to keep our neighborhood clean and it prevents any sensitive information that you may have placed in your trash from blowing into unsafe hands.
  • For any overflow trash, residents have two options. There is the option to rent an additional cart for $10/month or to purchase bag tags at 5 tags for $10. Please contact GFL at 816-350-5595 to request either of these for your household.
