Century Clarifies Waste Collection Rules; Announces Upcoming Bulk Pickup Dates
March 1, 2026
The Town of Century is reminding solid waste customers to use the proper can, and it has released upcoming bulk collection dates with new provider Waste Pro.
Proper Can Use
Yard waste is collected in a green cart with a black lid on Tuesdays, and garbage is collected in a green cart with a blue lid on Fridays.
Century Town Administrator Dave Murzin said there has been some confusion, with customers contaminating yard waste with household trash.
“It is important to keep the yard waste separate. It is used for mulch,” he said. “The cans will not be emptied if non-vegetative material is in the yard waste container.”
Bulk Waste Collection Schedule
Bulk waste will be collected on March 10 in the following areas:
And bulk waste will be collected in the following areas on April 14:

“So we don’t actually get monthly bulk pick-up, we get it every other month?”
It’s quarterly for bulk .
In the first section (everything not pictured above), it will be in the first month of the quarter, the red section above in the second month of the quarter, and the light green section above in the third month of the quarter.
Because the contract just starting, the quarters are off. They haven’t said if they just count quarters from when they started, or start with regular quarters (like Jan-March, April-June, etc).
So we don’t actually get monthly bulk pick-up, we get it every other month?
“My end of Jefferson by 4 is not on the map. Is there another day after April 14 when a bulk pick up will be done?”
It was due for collection on February 10. It was off-schedule as the contract began
According to the info from the town, all bulk pick ups will be on the 2nd Tuesday of the month. In your section (and everyone else not pictured here), it will be in the first month of the quarter, the red section in the second month of the quarter, and the light green section above in the third month of the quarter.

We have two bathrooms. I understand that on Sundys we put yellow in one toilet and Wednesday’s.. brown in the other, except on Tuesdays.
Just kidding.
Bulk waste must be stuff just put by the side of the road, no can.
I think TOC negotiated a good contract. Much better than ECUA provides.
I am so confused!!!
I thought “bulk waste” was big “bulky” stuff….chairs, cardboard, furniture, etc. “Household waste” is just that….stuff that is thrown away inside the household. “Yard waste” is stuff that comes out of the yard that needs to be disposed of…leaves, limbs, sticks, etc. That would mean THREE containers rather than just TWO.
One more thing…..I am a short woman and the new cans are taller than I can easily put my weekly trash/garbage in…are there shorter can available?
That’s too confusing.
We just put bulk waste by the side of the road with a Christmas Bow on it and a big sign that says “FREE” and turn the security camera on it and take bets of how many minutes will go by before someone stops and gets it.
It’s usually about 3 to 5 minutes.
