Other notes
- Real center is 2900 N. Water Street, not Public Works office 1645 Marquette Avenue or City Hall 301 Washington.
- City main page explicitly offers fruit/vegetable food-scrap drop-off feeding worms through Give A Scrap. Full acceptable-food flyer not retrieved, so no claim meat/dairy/compostable plastic accepted.
- City second-Saturday event specifically welcomes extra recyclables and oversized cardboard. Other accepted material list and current rates not fully rendered; ask before loading special/bulky waste.
- Residents unload themselves, no staff unloading assistance. Bring exact change and residency identification.
- Source conflict shown rather than silently assuming recurring public events override appointment rule. April 2026 event establishes what was advertised, not guaranteed November 2026 date. No appointment created.
