Residential Licenses
Currently there are no residential licenses available. Cottage Grove City Code specifies that no more than three residential dwelling solid waste hauler and recycler licenses shall be issued at any one time.
Commercial Licenses
To haul or collect garbage, refuse, recyclables, yard waste, or construction/demolition waste from commercial properties, a commercial license must be obtained. Ordinances are detailed on the Sterling Codifier website by going to Title 4 - Public Health and Safety and then Chapter 2 - Mixed Solid Waste and Recycling.
