Storm Lake Proposes Ticket System for Extended Clean-Up Access

Storm Lake residents could soon see changes to how the city handles its annual clean-up. 

During Monday night’s city council meeting, city staff proposed a ticket-based system that would allow residents to haul unwanted items to the recycling center between November and May.

Staff say the plan is designed to better serve residents who can’t participate during limited weekend hours. 

Program Manager Kim Woltman explains the idea.

Tickets would cost $15 per load, with a limit of two per household. Council members discussed whether to cap the number of tickets and how to track usage. 

The city council applauded the idea.

Formal approval of the plan is expected at the next council meeting on Oct. 6.
