RECYCLING PICK UP DAYS AND TIMES

Recycling pick-up for most addresses in Asbury will be on Wednesdays.   If you live in the Centura Court, Arrowhead, Wedgewood, Legacy Heights or Tuscany Ridge neighborhoods your pick up is on Friday. 

A 65 gallon container will be provided for each residence.  This brown container has a yellow lid and is to be used for recycling only.  This container is marked with a serial number and must remain with the property it is assigned to.  Please make sure the container is 2 feet away from any other containers and do not place it near a parked car, pole , mailbox or tree.  Place the container curbside by 6 a.m.  When snow is present place on a cleared, flat area.  Any extra recycling can be taken to Dittmer Recycling, 1755 Radford Road, Dubuque, Iowa.
