Garbage & Recycling Center Information
The Village of Belgium collection day is on Fridays except on holiday weeks.
Carts should be placed curbside by 7:00 am on the day of collection but NOT before 5:00 pm the evening before. Both carts should be within 18” of the curb with arrows on lids pointing towards the street and 3’ of space between them.
-
Place carts at least 3’ away from mailboxes, lamp posts, and other fixed objects.
-
Place carts on as level of a surface as possible, but away from low-hanging tree branches.
