Rubbish & Recycling Information & Special Events


Winter Rubbish Collection

  During significant forecasted storm events rubbish collection may be canceled and not collected until your next collection day the following week.  This is necessary to free up personnel and equipment to keep our streets and sidewalks plowed and treated. 

You can call the rubbish hotline at 207-620-8122 to listen to the automated message on whether the rubbish collection has been canceled for the following day.  If it is not being cancelled it will be picked up as usual.  We will attempt to provide notice on the City web page (www.augustamaine.gov), City of Augusta’s Facebook pages and Twitter accounts, and other public service announcements by 7:00 PM on the day before your scheduled collection. 

 Thank you,  
City of Augusta Public Works Department.

For questions or concerns, call 207-626-2435 Monday through Friday: 7:00AM to 4:00PM.
