Bremer County Landfill:
If you choose to take your garbage or any bulky items or construction material directly to the Bremer County Landfill, please tarp all contents that are placed in an open pickup truck to prevent loss of material. Any load that is not tarped and contained will be turned away or charged an additional fee. This includes individual items such as a refrigerator. The Bremer County Landfill does not accept any yard waste, brush or trees. Go to the Bremer County Landfill site for information on their new Customer Convenience Center (CCC).
Special Pickup Service for Large/Bulky Items:
The City does provide a Special Pickup Service of large/bulky items at a charge of $20 per load at any time during the year. (See Yard Waste Section for Special Pickup of yard waste.)
