Garbage Collection Schedule

In December 2023, the City of Galena residential garbage and recycling collection provided by Montgomery Trucking was converted to an automated system that requires residents to use new garbage and recycling roll carts that can be mechanically lifted and dumped into collection trucks. 

A map is linked below to allow you to determine your weekly garbage collection day (either Tuesday or Wednesday) and every other week recycling collection days. As the map shows, there is an A day and a B day for recycling collection. Each residence is either an A day or a B day. A chart showing the A and B recycling collection days for 2025 is linked below. A magnet showing A and B recycling collection days is available at City Hall. 

For more detailed information about the new carts and collection process, please refer to the Frequently Asked Questions linked below. If you have any other questions, please contact Montgomery Trucking at 815-777-0672.

Thank you for your cooperation as we transition to the new carts, collection system, and schedules.
