Thank you for your patience during our current transition of City of Canton sanitation services from Waste Management to Advanced Disposal Services. The weekly collection of garbage as a City service exists in the form of a franchise agreement between the City and a selected vendor. The vendor is chosen through a bidding process. The contract for the services under Waste Management was set to expire on September 30, 2018 and during the bidding process five companies submitted proposals. The City of Canton decided to accept the proposal from Advanced Disposal as it represented the lowest cost for services and the company has the resources necessary to serve a community with 9,000 accounts.

Area glass processors are no longer able to accept glass because mixed glass from single stream recycling collections and processing operations have been rejected by secondary processors and as a result has no marketable value.
