ABOUT REFUSE COLLECTION

The Village contracts with Republic Services and utilizes a bag system whereby residents must purchase specially-marked trash bags. Bags are available for purchase at the Village Hall or Anna IGA.

The contractor will pick up an unlimited amount of bags from each household. However, the bags should not include refuse of a commercial nature or bulk items. Bulk items are picked up curbside on the normal collection day and require a special tag which can be purchased at the Village Office located at 209 West Main Street.

Unlimited Trash Pick Up
A resident may also elect to have unlimited trash pickup. Instead of paying per bag, Republic Services will provide a tote and unlimited trash can be set out for pick up for a flat fee. Large item pickup is also included in the unlimited option. Contact Republic Services directly to set up this service by calling 937-593-3566.

ABOUT CURBSIDE RECYCLING

Each household in the Village of Anna will receive two recycling bins; one light green bin and one dark green bin. The light green bin is for paper & cardboard and the dark green bin is for co-mingled items which includes plastic bottles & jugs, glass bottles & jars and aluminum & steel cans.

Using two recycling bins is known as a dual-stream collection system. This type of system allows for Shelby County Recycling to more efficiently collect the recyclables at the curb, which saves time and money. Proper recycling is very important to the success of the curbside recycling program.
