Service Guidelines
Collection Day: Garbage dumpster service is available once, twice, or three times a week. Service days are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, depending on your location. Extra or unscheduled dumpster collection is also available for a reasonable fee.
Prohibited Items: Yard waste, appliances, tires, batteries, paint, liquids, medical waste, and hazardous waste should not be placed inside dumpsters. You may be denied service if any of these items are found in your dumpster.
Dumpster Access: If gates enclose a dumpster container, they must be opened by 5 am on your service day. Please make sure that no vehicles are blocking the dumpster.
Dumpster Placement: The Field Operations Department must approve a dumpster site for safety and accessibility before service begins. Before ordering a dumpster, contact a sales representative at (336) 335-5444 for a free inspection.
