GARBAGE/REFUSE

The Town of Kearny operates its own garbage pick-up, in an effort to reduce refuse costs for residents and businesses. All garbage is transferred to a sanitary landfill just outside the Dudelyville area. Each resident receives a 90-gallon receptacle. Additional receptacles can be requested for an additional fee, and additional charge per pickup.

Rates
The Town of Kearny bills garbage at a standard rate of $18.00 per month for residential users. Charges are combined with sewer and water. Sales tax does not apply to garbage disposal. Rates for commercial collection vary, dependent on use and pickup frequency.
