Council meetings are open to the public and are held on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of each month.

Toilet paper only!

Please do not flush tissues, paper towel, feminine hygiene products, and flushable wipes, as they do not break down and cause problems with sewer pumps. The same products can cause problems with septic systems, as well. They can plug up the holes in a drain field, causing it to fail.

Organic Recycling

Dayton residents have the opportunity to participate in organic recycling. Organics recycling involves collecting food scraps, non-recyclable paper and other compostable products to be recycled into compost at a large-scale composting facility. This process creates a nutrient-rich material that can be used in gardens and landscaping projects. Organics recycling is the best opportunity to reduce our trash – about 25 percent what we throw away is organic materials like food scraps and compostable paper. In order to be successful with organics recycling, it’s important to understand why it’s important, how it works, what is accepted, and how to get started.  Dayton residents have the opportunity to organic recycle. 

Drop-off location:  16471 South Diamond Lake Rd
