Waste Disposal & Recycling
Basic garbage service includes bi-weekly pick-up and landfill services for residents of Indian Head.
Residents of Indian Head also demonstrate their care for our environment with their ongoing participation in the Loraas Disposal Recycling initiative. Many residents also partake in personal green practices such as composting that benefit us all through reductions in the amount and cost of waste management.

Residential curbside garbage and recycling collection is done by Loraas Disposal. Household garbage will be picked up every two weeks on Mondays. Recycling will be pickuped up every four weeks on Tuesdays.
On collection days, please remember to have your cart out by 7:00 a.m. After your garbage or recycling has been collected, remove your carts off the street and back to your property. Commercial customers who have a roll-out garbage cart also follow the residential curbside garbage schedule.
