LAST DATES FOR DIAL-A-TRAILER AND BRUSH TRAILER 2018

The Dial-A-Trailer service will run through September 14. The use of a City dump trailer is available to Goshen City residents for the disposal of unwanted household items. There is a $75 fee that covers the use of the trailer as well as the landfill charges. This fee is to be paid and paperwork filled out prior to the delivery of the trailer. All discarded items are subject to the restrictions of the landfill. Residents may reserve a trailer by calling the Street Department at 534.9711 Monday through Friday, between the hours of 7 a.m. and 4 p.m.

The 2018 brush trailer program runs through October 26. The trailer can be reserved for the removal of large amounts of brush.  If a homeowner is trimming his own bushes or trees, they can schedule a trailer to be dropped off to put their brush in.  This program is for the homeowner only and not to be used by private landscaping or tree-trimming professionals. This program is free of charge as long as there is only brush placed in the trailer.  Trash such as landscape timbers, lumber, old fencing and such is not allowed and if found in the brush trailer, the homeowner will be charged for a Dial-A-Trailer.

With both programs, the trailer is usually dropped off in the afternoon between the hours of 2 and 3:30 p.m. and picked up the next day shortly after 7 a.m. if one has scheduled to receive it on a weekday; if you have it scheduled for a weekend, it will be dropped off Friday afternoon and picked up early Monday morning.
