The City of Volga contracts out its sanitation and recycling services to the lowest bidder on a three-year contract. Bids were received recently and are currently being reviewed to start a new three-year contract beginning on November 1, 2023. The City Council is expected to make a decision to choose the lowest bidder based on projected data that will cover the level of services the City desires for its residents. Once a decision is made, more information will be provided as to whether trash, recycling, and yard waste totes will need be swapped out or not. Stay tuned to our Facebook page and website for more information.
The City's agreement with the chosen provider will continue the same services as it has this past year. This includes:
-Weekly trash collection pick-up
-2nd and 4th Wednesday recycling collection pick-up
-Weekly yard waste pick-up during the summer months (typically May - October)
-Three city-wide clean-up events in which residents can place acceptable household items on the curb for pick-up (May, June, and September)
-Year-round city dumpsters (for residential use only) near the blue water tower (please ensure items are acceptable items and placed in the correct dumpsters)
-Year round recyclables and cardboard dumpsters (for residential use only) near the blue water tower (please ensure items are acceptable items and placed in the correct dumpsters)
-Leaf collection dumpsters in the spring and fall located near Hoff Field and the Volga Community Center
-Overflow leaf collection in October & November at the city disposal site located on W 6th Street
Items collected are brought to the Brookings Regional Landfill. It is worth noting that rate increases are trending upwards and charges from the Brookings Regional Landfill are beyond the City of Volga's control. The City of Volga's goal is to cover the cost of services only with our rates. Services may be amended or dropped if neglect or abuse occurs with the services provided. If you have questions on sanitation, recycling, or yard-waste services, give City Hall a call at 605-627-9113.
