Jamestown  (CSi)  Beginning Monday August 7,  crews from Rehrig Pacific will begin distributing new brown garbage containers to Jamestown single family households, mobile homes and most multi-unit housing (apartment) facilities.

The new containers consist of 35 gallon, 65 gallon and 95 gallon capacities based on resident selection. Any resident who did not respond to the mailing sent out earlier and due by July 31, 2017, will receive a 65 gallon container.

The crews will be following the regularly scheduled garbage pick-up schedule as much as possible. The distribution of the new containers is anticipated to be accomplished within a week’s time; however, with the placement of approximately 5,700 containers there is sure to be some unanticipated small concerns.

The City of Jamestown  requests patience and understanding from our residents as we work to resolve any concerns as they arise. The city asks all residents for their cooperation in this effort and to leave any green containers, which they may currently be using, in place after it is emptied next week; as City crew(s) will be collecting the green containers.

Residents will be allowed to switch the size of their container at no cost one time prior to October 1, 2017. Thereafter a fee of $25.00 will be assessed for any change in container size.
Although the new automated garbage trucks ordered back in January of this year have been delayed in delivery, residents may begin using the new garbage containers immediately.
Information received from the Recycling Center of North Dakota, Inc., the city recycling contractor, indicates a delay in the starting date for the curbside recycling as well. We expect further updates as to their new schedule within a few weeks.
Any questions regarding garbage containers or garbage service may be made to 701-252-5900. Any questions relative to recycling, please call 701-320-9218.
