Changes have been put in place for trash and recycling pick-up in the City of Washington to better protect sanitation workers from the COVID-19 illness. The City of Washington and Johnson County Refuse have put the changes in place until further notice. All garbage and recycling needs to fit in its appropriate bin. Additional tagged bags or flattened cardboard will not be picked up. Also, bulky item collection has been suspended.

Residents can request an additional garbage or recycling container for a monthly fee, to do so contact City Hall.

No decisions have yet been made on the annual spring cleaning event that is currently scheduled for April 18th. A decision will be announced by April 6th.
