What time should my trash be ready for pick up?
All trash must be ready for pick up by 6 AM. No exceptions. Though the truck might arrive at your house between 8am and 9am on average, this might not happen every week due to inclement weather, road construction, driver illness and other factors which might cause a variation in the schedule. The route and special pickups will be scheduled in the most cost effective manner which may alter weekly schedules.
