Waste Management honors the following holidays. Your trash pick-up will be delayed one day later after these holidays for the week of the holiday:

If the holiday falls on the weekend, there is no disruption in service.

Trash

Trash must be placed in special city bags. The bags are sold for $10 for a package. These bags can be purchased at: the City of Hancock office, Pat’s IGA, Risto Hardware, Holiday Gas Station, Krist Oil.

Recycling

Special bins are NOT required for recycling. Recyclables can be placed in any bin or tote that is marked “recyclables” to distinguish them from the trash.
