Garbage Service is available to all town residents within the City Limits. The garbage fee is $16.50 a month for residential. (Fees vary for businesses with dumpsters.) Business garbage collection is on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Residential is on Tuesdays.
All trash must be put in a Town of Sparta trash can and placed at the curbside by 6:30 a.m. on Tuesdays.
The ONLY Holidays the trash truck does NOT run are on Thanksgiving and Christmas. All other Holidays the trash truck will be collecting garbage.
1 FREE rolling trash can per address with the option to purchase an additional 90 gallon rolling trash can at the Town Office for $80.00.

To understand which book your residence is in, look at the number printed in the bottom right corner. In an example like 003-003340, the 003 is for “book three.”
