General Guidelines
• Please have your trash out by 7:00 AM on your pickup day. Our routes are long and we cannot circle back for late trash.
• Curbside trash is often collected in 4WD trucks that are not enclosed, we cannot pick up trash and recycles in untied bags, it is difficult to handle and may blow out of our trucks.
• Bags that weigh over 25 pounds may not be picked up as they must be thrown overhead into the trucks by our drivers. Please split your heavy bags as a safety concern.
• Cardboard boxes must be broken down flat and bundled. Cardboard boxes that are not broken take up too much space in our trucks. We will accept boxes filled with trash if they are taped securely shut.
• Your trash should be in a can If you have wildlife or weather that will scatter it. We are not responsible for picking up scattered trash.
Restricted Items that will not be collected unless special arrangements are made.
• All refiigerators and all freon bearing devices
• Tires
• Batteries
• Electronic waste
• Oil
• Paint and solvents

Curbside Recycle collection is provided as an additional option in conjunction with our trash service. We do not, however, provide stand-alone recycle services. Call our office to enroll for recycle pickup service.
All recycles are picked up on Monday. Please have your recycles out for pickup by 7:00 AM
General Recycle Guidelines:
Household recycles only, please. Limit of 2 cans or 2 large bags per week. Additional recycles will incur additional fees.Please Bag your Recycles. Because of the high mountain areas we service, an open 4-Wheel Drive pickup is used to collect your recycles. We request that your recycles be placed into a bag (paper or plastic) and securely closed (tied, stapled, taped) to prevent the possibility of wind blowing the items from the truck.
Recycle Pickup day is Monday, even holiday Mondays.
Recycle Collection Time is 7:00 a.m. We may not be at your location this early, but route schedules and drivers may change affecting your pickup time.
Recycle Placement: Please place your recycle bags, container, or cans at the end of your driveway on collection day.
