Sanitation - Welcome

Welcome to the online home of the Sanitation Department.  Here, you can find information about the City of Canton's standard weekly trash schedule, learn what is acceptable to place at the curb, and find out how you can ensure that your garbage is picked up every week without delay!

The Sanitation Department services roughly 34,000 structures in the city every week.  This amounts to approximately 43,000 tons (86 million pounds) of garbage every year from Canton residents.

Trash collection will take place in all weather, though the crews will not pick up garbage if the temperature falls below -5º Fahrenheit.
