City of Ames....Someplace Special!
In the City of Ames, we are defined less by boundaries on a map than by the sense of shared values our residents hold dear. Small town values, guided growth, preservation of historical, cultural, and natural heritage are just a few of the core principles that makes City of Ames a wonderful place to call home.

It is that time of the year again!!! Christmas Season!! Pineywoods Sanitation is asking customers to have their garbage out by 5:00 AM the Wednesday after Christmas. They will start picking up garbage at 5:00 AM and since there will be a large amount of garbage out, Pineywoods Sanitation drivers will have to make several trips to Ames to make sure every customer get their garbage picked up for the day. If you do not have your garbage out then your garbage will not be picked up and customers will not be allowed to dump their garbage in the City Hall dumpster.
