The Town of Baldwin contracts with Murtha Sanitation for garbage and recycling collection. Garbage and Recycling collection is at the Town building at 90^th Ave. and 240^th St., with the entrance on 240^th St.

Each residence in the Town of Baldwin is assessed $60.00 on their Tax Bill for garbage collection, which is mailed to every residence on the Tax Roll mid-December. The $60.00 assessment provides you with 3 punch cards, with each punch card good for 20 punches, and each punch is for 1 bag of garbage. You must present your card to be punched when bringing garbage to the collection site. The Town pays for collection of recyclables. Acceptable recycling items go in a separate dumpster at the Town site. Recycled items must be clean and comply with the list below!
