Garbage pickup and recycling days in Benton are every Monday. (If a holiday falls on a Monday, pickups will be made on Tuesday.) Garbage and recycling carts should be at curbside by 6:00 A.M. Weekly garbage pickup is for normal household refuse. All households are provided with a 65-gallon trash cart. All material must fit in the carts provided. Materials placed outside the carts will not be collected. If you have a large quantity of garbage, please arrange for a separate pickup with a vendor of your choice at your cost. Larger 95-gallon carts are available for a one-time charge of $50.

Recycling is a simple thing that each of us can do to help prevent useful material resources from being wasted, to help reduce the consumption of raw materials, and to help reduce the use of energy and its byproducts. Benton has been a recycling community for many, many years. Each household is provided a 65-gallon recycling cart. The carts stay with the home when it changes ownership or rental. Additional carts are available for a charge.

Large-item pick up can now be done weekly (with the exception of appliances and tires, see below) with a charge of $25 per item.  If you have a large item, you need to stop by the Village Office the Friday prior to large-item pick up, pay $25/item and be put on the list.

For appliances and tires, they will be picked up on the first and third collection day of each month. It is $25 per appliance or $25 for up to 4 tires. Please call or visit the Village Office for more information.
