Local Refuse Haulers

To start refuse service at your home please choose from one of the following service providers. The City of Gardner does not provide a municipal refuse service.

Currently the City of Gardner does not have a Recycling program in place. The Citizen Survey that was completed in 2007  indicated a desire for the City to provide curbside recycling options for its residents.  The City of Gardner has been working with Johnson County as it is updates its requirements for the Johnson County Landfill.  Once the County has completed its process in 2009, the Gardner City Council will revisit waste hauling services. 

Gardner Disposal offers curbside recycling beginning July 1, 2010.

L & K Services, Inc offers curbside recycling beginning September 1, 2010.

Paper Retriever Community Recycling Program
Bright green and yellow container called the Paper Retrievers are placed at many Gardner schools for residents to drop off newspaper, magazines, shopping catalogs and mail. Some of the containers even accept plastic 1 and 2, aluminum, paper and cardboard. This recycling opportunity is a fundraiser for the local school. Paper is collected and weighed at the time of collection on the trucks. A monthly statement detailing the amount of paper collected for the month is usually accompanied by a check for the amount collected over the minimum of two tons. In addition, Abitibi Recycling offers annual recycling contests and promotions to provide additional cash incentives. To learn more about the program you can go their website- www.paperretriever.com.
