Garbage Collection

TRASH:

On each regularly scheduled collection day, the pickup location must be the curb or the garage door (Garage door trash must be visible from the street). You may also place trash in trash bags not weighing over 40 lbs. All trash must be out for pick up by 7 a.m. on the day of collection.

EXCLUDED ITEMS:

Dirt, sod, mulch, rocks, bricks, tile, concrete, tires, batteries, motor oil, cooking oil, sheetrock, insulation, construction debris, waste generated by a private contractor, or any materials or items deemed hazardous materials. Please do not dispose of gasoline, motor oil, paints, cooking oil, or any other liquid items in a container that are not visible to Best Trash personnel. If such items result in spillage that causes a stain, Best Trash is not responsible for the cleanup. Best Trash will leave a tag explaining the reason for any non-collected item(s).

HEAVY TRASH:

Offered every collection day. Trees, shrubs, brush trimmings, and fencing must be no larger than 4” inches in diameter, no more than 4 feet long, and tied in bundles not exceeding 40 pounds. Tied bundles are required to allow quick pick-up and size limitations are required to avoid damaging the equipment during the compacting process. Best Trash will collect up to 3 cubic yards (up to 10 bags OR 10 bundles) of yard waste each service day. Items such as appliances, furniture, and mattresses will be collected on both service days; the limit is 2 large items per collection day. Carpet (up to 1 room of carpet, cut less than 4 feet wide, tied in bundles not exceeding 40 pounds) will be picked up on both garbage collection days. By Federal Law, refrigerators, freezers, and any other items containing Freon must be drained of Freon and have an accompanying bill to validate that such service was performed.

SPECIAL COLLECTION SERVICE:

For more than normal amounts of residential refuse, yard trimmings or bulk items, Best Trash does have the ability to provide a special collection service. For pricing information, please email your district name, address, and several pictures of your items to [email protected].

RECYCLABLE ITEMS:

PAPER (including cardboard), PLASTICS (1-5,7), ALUMINUM and TIN cans, and GLASS (all colors). Best Trash takes great pride in our recycling program. Ensuring the best recycling program for our customers takes time and effort on both sides. Please remove caps, liquids, and food products from inside the containers. Please only use the provided recycle bin for recyclable materials. Please place items adjacent to the bin well marked as recyclable materials if they exceed the container capacity. Cardboard is recyclable; please break down all boxes flat and place them next to the recycle container for collection.

BIN CARE & MAINTENANCE:

Best Trash will provide each current residence with ONE 18-gallon recycling bin. Best Trash will replace any defective bin or otherwise unusable due to normal wear and tear. Lost or stolen containers can be replaced at $20.00 each by calling Best Trash or emailing [email protected].

HOLIDAY SCHEDULE:

If your regular trash or recycling collection day falls on a holiday (New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, or Christmas Day), the collection will be made on the next regularly scheduled collection day.

The composting of lawn and garden refuse is encouraged. We also highly discourage residents from blowing yard refuse into the storm drains.
