Brandt’s Sanitary Service
Helpful Tips for 2026
Recycling – Remember NO plastic bags, trash, styrofoam, clothes hangers or pizza boxes allowed (please see universal statewide collection list in resources for more details). All accepted recyclables need to be rinsed and cleaned from any food residue.
Trash – We encourage the use of bags for your trash. Helps keep carts clean and rodents away!! Please be sure to tie the bags shut if your cart is overfull, this helps keep trash contained and off of our streets.
Cardboard – Cardboard is accepted in Blue Commingle Carts, however, we strongly encourage everyone to bring cardboard down to our recycling center. This is the best way to recycle cardboard. Please no plastic wrap or styrofoam in cardboard remove those items and place them in your green garbage cart.
Batteries – Brandt’s currently only accepts ALKALINE household batteries. Lithium, Rechargeable or Coin Cell (small round batteries, typically used for key fobs and watches) batteries are not accepted by Brandt’s Sanitary Service. Contact Marion County Household Hazardous Waste Facility for best recycling options for these batteries.
“Recycling is what we do when we’re out of options to avoid, repair, or reuse the product first. Firstly: Reduce. Don’t buy what we don’t need. Repair: Fix stuff that still has life in it. Reuse: Share. Then, only when you’ve exhausted those options, recycle.” Annie Leonard
