It doesn’t matter what you call it: garbage, trash, rubbish, refuse, waste or scrap, it usually amounts to the “leftovers” that are unneeded or unwanted. The items that are meant to be disposed of or thrown away. Of course, for most people it’s easy to dispose of their trash. Place the items in the garbage can, pull the container out to the curb on the designated day, and the waste collection company will empty the can, leaving it to be refilled for the next collection day. Though curbside pickup services make it convenient for homeowners to get rid of trash, there are a few guidelines that must be followed to make residential garbage collection work smoothly. By understanding and following these guidelines, the process of removing trash can be a simple process for all.

Most waste companies have liberal limits on the amount of garbage that can be placed out on collection day. In fact, many curbside pickup services provide customers a large waste receptacle that may be used. Some even allow for an extra standard-sized garbage can or bag left at the curb. Most waste collection companies also provide bulk pickup for oversize items, such as appliances or yard trimmings. Some companies offer a set day for this, but most will accommodate their customers if they either call or submit an online request for bulk pickup.

Though the waste receptacles are large, there are a few items that should not be placed in the cans at all. Some of these dangerous items are: batteries, used motor oil, old tires or chemicals. These items contain hazardous materials that can be dangerous to the environment. It’s usually recommended to contact the waste collection company to learn how to dispose of these potentially dangerous items properly.

Residential customers are usually pleased to learn they can conveniently contact their residential waste company by telephone or online at Website.com. They can learn about their neighborhood collection schedule, request a bulk pickup, and even pay their bill with the click of a button. Whether contacting them by phone or email, it’s clear that the convenience of the customer is always put first. You can also connect them on Facebook.
