Your carts should be set out the night before or no later than 6 AM on the day of your pick up. Drivers are on a tight schedule and cannot always return if you do not have your carts out on time. However, if you do set out your trash too late, call our office as soon as possible and we will call the driver to see if they are still in the area. In most cases however, we will pick up your trash the following week on your normal pick up day.

If your trash was set out by 6 AM and mistakenly missed by your driver, please call our office as soon as possible. We will make every attempt to have your trash emptied by the end of that day. In some cases it will be necessary to for us to collect your trash later in the week or the following week on your regular scheduled pick up day. If we must wait until the following week, we will take your extra trash at no additional charge.

Sometimes a large bulky item, usually a box, will become lodged in the container and block the rest of the trash from being dumped. In the winter months, it is possible that a bag or bags of trash may become frozen inside the container causing the container to be only partially emptied. We will make every attempt to return and have your trash emptied by the end of that day. In some cases it will be necessary to for us to collect your trash later in the week or the following week on your regular scheduled pick up day. If we must wait until the following week, we will take your extra trash at no additional charge.

If you are going to have extra trash, please call our office before your scheduled pick up day so that we can let your driver know. The extra trash must be bagged and there will be an extra charge for the extra volume.
