Code Enforcement

The City of Wildwood will be enhancing our community through our beautification program, by offering property owners the opportunity to acquire 95 gallon trash containers. These containers are made of heavy duty plastic, with a secured lid, a pull bar and 10 inch wheels. They will be dark blue in color and have the City of Wildwood logo on them. Each can will be numerically marked for tracking purposes. Any property owner wishing to acquire one or more of these cans may do so by contacting the the City Clerk’s Office in the municipal building. As a reminder each property is permitted a total of four of this type of trash container. There will be a donation fee of Eighty-Five Dollars ($85) per can, payable to City of Wildwood Beautification, which will be used to continue this program as well as to acquire recycle cans in the near future.
