City of Madelia – Garbage Bag/Sticker Buy-Back Announcement
City of Madelia – Garbage Bag/Sticker Buy-Back Announcement
The City of Madelia, in partnership with West Central Sanitation, is pleased to offer two limited-time buy-back dates in September for any unused orange garbage bags or stickers purchased prior to the recent garbage service transition.
If you—or someone you know, such as a friend, neighbor, or family member—purchased bulk orange garbage bags or stickers before West Central Sanitation began service, please stop by City Hall during regular business hours on one of the following dates:
-
Thursday, September 11
-
Tuesday, September 23
These are the only two dates the buy-back option will be available.
Thank you for your cooperation and continued support during this transition.
