Why Staying on Schedule Matters

Correct set‑out times keep routes efficient and streets clean. Many cities require carts at the curb by early morning. One example sets 6 a.m. as the deadline.
Holiday shifts and weather can change timing. Always check your calendar or alerts for updates.
What Customers Say
“It took me a bit to get to this review, but a couple weeks ago I had to call customer service. I had completely forgotten what week was mine for recycling! She was super nice and was able to answer me right away. I was also asked if I’d like a schedule emailed or mailed to me. I preferred email and received a copy to download right away. Nothing but great service from this company since switching over months ago!!”
