Trash pickup – Your local guide to the city and campus

Trash pickup

• Customers of the Muncie Sanitary District must use Toters provided by the MSD for disposing of household trash. Office hours are 7 a.m.-3 p.m. Monday-Friday, excluding holidays.
• All of your trash must be bagged, securely fastened and placed inside your Toter with the lid closed.
• Toters are to be placed at the curb by 7 a.m. on your trash day and returned to your property by 7 p.m. the same day.
• Toters must be two feet clear of any obstruction (telephone poles, mailboxes, cars, etc.). If multiple Toters are used, please allow two feet in between Toters with the arrows on the lids facing the street.
• All bulk items (furniture, tree limbs, appliances) must also be placed at the curb. Please be sure these items are unobstructed by mailboxes, telephone poles and overhead power lines. Bulk items are collected by a secondary truck on your regular trash day.
• The sanitary district does not pick up bags or boxes on the ground.
• If your Toter or bulk item was not accessible, you will be notified via a green missed trash sticker on the item indicating why the item was not collected. If an item is tagged, please address the issue promptly to ensure the item is collected the next week.
• Toters are the property of the Muncie Sanitary District. Customers are responsible for their Toters. If a Toter is damaged by no fault of the resident it will be repaired or replaced at no charge. If a Toter is damaged, call the sanitation department, 747-4865.
• Trash will be picked up on regular schedule for all holidays and election days.
