CITY OF CELINA

The items to be included in this special collection are general household discards from city residences only. Because of escalating cost, landfill restrictions and the use of packer trucks for collection, the following regulations and prohibited items will be strictly enforced for this collection. Each residence will be limited to a maximum of 60 cubic feet of discards, this is equal to the amount that can be put at one time into the hopper of the collection truck.

Please note the following items are prohibited and will not be collected: mattresses, appliances, refrigerators, stoves, water heaters, stools, sinks, tires, batteries, tree limbs and brush, leaves, yard waste, railroad ties, building materials that are not boxed or bundled, concrete, brick and stone debris, metal fencing, motor blocks, transmissions and auto body parts, pressure containers, liquid waste and hazardous materials including paint and motor oils.
