The mission of this division is to provide efficient and reliable garbage and recycling services to all they serve.

Residential garbage, recycling, and yard waste are picked up at the curb. Special scheduled pickups are required for disposing of metal items (such as appliances). The City of West Point does not collect hazardous materials or electronics. These items must be taken to a landfill.
