Trash, recycling and yard waste announcements

Make your next renovation project easier with roll-off container rentals

Planning on redoing your kitchen? Need to clean out the basement or garage? A large roll-off trash container delivered right to your driveway can make these big jobs much easier.

Roll-off containers may be used for most trash, excluding tires, appliances, liquids, car batteries and hazardous waste. In addition, roll-off containers may be used for yard waste projects, but yard waste may not be combined with other trash.

Container sizes vary with 10–, 20– and 30–yard containers currently available. Visit www.ofallon.mo.us/roll-off or call 636-272-0477 to reserve a roll-off container.
