Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get another polycart?

Additional polycarts are available. Beginning 2019 -- $24.20 for the first 95-gal polycart and $19.30 for the second one. Call the Public Works office at 436-8100 to request more trash service.

Can I just burn my garbage or other waste?

The City of Ada has an ordinance that prohibits burning inside the city limits; however, by special permit, you can apply for a burn permit to burn small amounts of natural materials such as brush and leaves. You must contact the fire chief for application, the site will be inspected prior to permitting, and you must check with your neighbors prior. Safety and Health will always take precedence.

Do I have to call to have brush or junk piles picked up by the city?

No. Limbs and junk piles (up to 4 cubic yards) are collected by quadrant once per month at no additional charge automatically (Click here for the quadrant map). If you are not sure which quadrant you are in, check the grapple collection schedule map. Piles need to be out on the Monday of your scheduled week. To schedule the grapple truck outside your quadrant call the Public Works office at 436-8100. There is a minimum $20 charge for this service. Residents with piles, not scheduled for collection, and that are set out for collection outside the quadrant time period, are subject to a substantial fine.

How much does it cost to take trash to the landfill?

Charges are calculated based on total weight. If you live inside Ada city limits, the charge is $30 per ton with a $7.50 minimum charge. If you live outside the Ada city limits, the charge is $45 per ton with a $7.50 minimum charge.
