Monday – Friday: 7:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.

We also have an in-house garage where we perform maintenance work on all city vehicles and equipment and we operate the transfer station at 45 Rose Street where you can bring bulk items. We accept remodeling materials and trash/debris from yards, but not brush at the transfer station that is open Monday - Friday, 8:00 AM to 3:30 PM and on Saturdays from 8:00 AM – noon. Our dedicated team is happy to serve you and your neighbors. We appreciate the partnership we have with you as we work together to keep Martinsville clean, safe and appealing.
