Kluesner Sanitation provides essential trash and recycling pickup services for the City of Postville. The service schedule alternates between trash-only and combined trash & recycling pickup every other week, ensuring efficient waste management for our community. Regular pickups occur on Tuesdays, with adjustments made for holidays. For detailed information, please view the City of Postville 2026 schedule here: Sanitation Calendar 2026.
Kluesner does offer large item pickup. Each item requires a $30 sticker affixed, stickers available for purchase at city hall.
Garbage Toters should have lids securely closed on collection days. If garbage bags do not fit inside the toter they require red tags, the tags are available for purchase at City Hall for $4. Place red tagged bags alongside the toter and Kluesner will pick-up. If excess garbage is not tagged, Kluesner will not pick up.
