Containers
The City of Frankfort provides wheeled trash and recycle containers with an approximate capacity of 64 or 96 gallons to each qualifying dwelling unit. These containers are the property of the city and are assigned to the dwelling unit.
Placement
Containers must be placed at your curbside the night before or by 7 AM on your scheduled service day. Remove the containers from the public right-of-way that evening.
For collection, place the container as close as possible to the curb or roadside, not on the street. Ensure the container is at least 3 feet from light posts, mailboxes, parked cars, and trees.
The handle and lid hinge should face your residence. Please ensure the lid is closed to prevent damage to the cart.
If physical conditions at your residence prohibit proper cart placement, contact Solid Waste to discuss additional options.
Requesting a Different Size Cart
Property owners may exchange their trash cart for a different size cart upon payment of a $75 service charge to the City. Changing the size of the recycle cart is free of charge.
To request a different size cart, contact the Public Works Department at 502-352-2088.
Public Safety
- All boxes need to be broken down and placed in your cart for pickup.
- Containers must be at your curbside the night before or by 7 AM on your scheduled service day and removed from the public right-of-way that evening.
- Curbside refuse should not impede pedestrian walkways or public through-fares.
- Refuse collection can be hazardous. Ensure that children stay clear of curbside refuse and collection trucks.
