SANITATION DEPARTMENT

Solid Waste Collection
The City of Cave Spring provides garbage pickup service for residents and businesses of the City. Residents should place their household trash inside plastic bags with a capacity between 5 and 34 gallons. Trash bags should be placed within containers that are easily accessible. The containers should be placed beside the street at 8 a.m. on Monday. Business trash pickup is Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

Yard Trimmings Collection
Yard trimmings such as leaves and grass clippings should be placed in garbage bags for pickup. Appropriately sized tree limbs and brush should be placed near the street, but not on sidewalks, storm drains, or ditches. Customers should call City Hall to request work order for pickup.

Recyclable Materials
Recyclable materials can be deposited at the Floyd County Landfill on Walker Mountain Road or at the remote site on Kings Bridge Road.
