Roll cart delivery began on March 21, 2022. Residents did not need to be home for the roll cart to be delivered, they were left at the curb. Roll cart automated collection began on APRIL 4, 2022.

Every resident will receive one 65-gallon roll cart at no charge. Additional roll cart(s) cost $5/month, per extra roll cart. This will be included on your monthly utility bill. Additional roll carts should be kept for a minimum of 1-year.

If you want to increase or decrease the number of roll carts, call Boonville Public Works at (660)882-5257 to arrange for a second roll cart to be added to your bill. The City will relay the information to WM who will deliver the roll cart to your address. If you are reducing the number of roll carts, WM will pick up your additional roll carts. Please allow 30 days for roll carts to be picked up/ dropped off. For extra roll carts you have called to have removed, please place them at the curb for removal.

Only trash in the roll cart will be collected. The roll cart must be closed for WM to pick up your trash.

The side of the cart with the wheels and handle should face away the curb (toward the house) and three feet from a vehicle, mailbox, additional roll cart, tree, or other objects.

Large, bulky items may be placed in the roll cart unbagged; however, household trash should be placed in the roll cart bagged. The lid must be firmly closed on the cart.

Residents have several options: 1) keep them and use them at home; 2) label them as “Dispose Container” and place them curbside, empty during the spring clean-up week (April 8-12, 2024); 3) crush/compact them and put them in their new WM roll carts; or 4) dispose of them by taking them to the transfer station.

Do not put your name or address on the roll carts. If a roll cart goes missing, call WM and they will deliver a new one to you.

The main roll cart should stay with the property. If you pay for an additional roll cart(s), you should take those with you to the new address if you are moving in town. If you are moving out of town ALL roll carts should stay at the property.

Place your new WM Trash Cart on the same roadway or alleyway that you previously placed your personal trash container. If for any reason it is not collected in that location, contact 1-866-909-4458. Trash must be placed inside the WM Supplied 65-Gallon Roll Cart and should be placed curbside at least three feet away from all objects including a second cart (if you rent one), mailbox, cars, or trees.
