Garbage

The City of Windsor Heights contracts with Metro Waste Authority who manages the garbage collection but contracts with Ankeny Sanitation to collect the garbage from the curb. Garbage is collected every week on Friday. All items must be placed in the city approved green bins and placed at the curb by 7 a.m. on your garbage day. One bin is provided for each residence. Additional bins may be requested by contacting ASI. To order an additional bin, please call 515-964-5229 during regular business hours.
