Utility Services
New Service or Termination
Application for requesting services must be submitted to the Utility Department at City Hall with your deposit and a copy of your drivers license. When moving within the City from one residence to another, you are still required to fill out a new application with a deposit and ID. Any time you move out, you need to submit a form to terminate your services. This form is required in order to stop usage calculation in your name. Account deposits are applied to outstanding balances and then refunds issued.
You may pick up forms between 8am to 5pm, Monday through Friday, or you may download forms by clicking a link located in the right sidebar.

Garbage and Recycling Pickup
North Sioux City coordinates the weekly collection of our solid waste, better known as garbage or trash. Receptacles need to be placed at the curb with nothing obstructing the ability to reach your container. Two 90-gallon carts are included at the base garbage rate. You may request additional cart(s) at $5 each, per month. Two Recycling containers are available at no additional charge. If you find you have more recyclables then can fit in your container, contact the city office to request an additional container.
Garbage that can be placed in carts are household garbage, grass cuttings and leaves. Grass or leaves need to be bagged and placed in garbage container. Tree limbs will be accepted if smaller than 4′ in length, placed inside the garbage container and the lid is able to close. Your garbage container will not be dumped if it contains ashes, dirt, cement, building supplies, appliances or tires. Items left beside your cart will not be picked up.
Garbage and recycling are picked up the same day each week, but at different times during the day. Carts need to be put out the night before the day of pick up. Pick up days are:
