Sanitation Services
The Board of Aldermen takes pride in the fact that the City pays for all residential refuse, recycling and yard waste pick up for our residents through Waste Management. Refuse, recycling and yard waste are picked up year round on TUESDAYS in Oakland. Residents may use Waste Management toters which can be supplied by Waste Management, please call 314-506-4700 to obtain additional toters.
