Our goal is to provide the customer with the best service possible.
There are two types of garbage collection: Automated and Manual.
Automated garbage collection utilizes a truck equipped with a mechanical arm to pick up and empty the garbage carts.
Manual garbage collection relies on two employees rolling the carts to the rear of a garbage truck and emptied with the aid of a mechanical tipping device.
Garbage cart set out procedures are the same for both Automated and Manual collection.
