What items can I have arranged to be picked up?

Some items will not be accepted in the primary recycling locations, so we can pre-arrange to transport the following items:

1. Small Appliances

2. Steel & Metal 

3. Other larger items

Note: Additional charges may apply.

What are other Best Practices to make the pickup run smoothly?

• Be sure there is NO food or liquids in the items you set aside. This will ruin the items for recycling use.

• Remove all lids for glass or plastic bottles and throw away, as they are not recycled.

• Better than dumping all recycling items into one giant container, you can aid the process with a Pre-Sort. Here is a good list of categories for like-items:

1. Paper, Newspaper, Magazines

2. Glass jars and containers

3. Cardboard

4. Plastic bottles and containers (#1 and #2 only)

5. Plastic shopping bags and plastic wrap

6. Metal:  aluminum cans, steel cans

• If the pickup day coincides with your local trash pick-up, please separate the recycling items by at least 5 feet (it can be set back a bit on the property where it would still be easily noticed).  If they are unaware of the separate service, they may take the pick-up by mistake.

What are the differences between the residential and business services?

Many cities are beginning to provide a service to pick up and transport their residential recycling items. This is a fantastic effort for the environment, and we are looking to provide this need in smaller communities that are not receiving these services.

The businesses that participate in recycling have different needs, including frequency of pick-ups and quantity of each load. These details will require customization.
