The City of Kalona is recycling residents’ old garbage and recycling containers at no charge.

Residents were issued new containers from Johnson County Refuse prior to July 1st for new trucks that automatically pick up and dispose the containers’ contents. Residents can put out their old trash cans and recycling bins at their curb by 6 a.m. this Friday to be recycled at no charge. Residents now pay either $16.50 per month for 65-gallon recycling and non-recycling containers or $15 per month for a 65-gallon recycling and 35-gallon non-recycling container. If residents exceed the amount of the container they can purchase a $3 sticker for a 50-gallon bag.
