Frequently Asked Questions

1. What kind of carts will I receive?

Account information was transferred from the previous provider to Waste Pro. The quantity of trash carts previously listed in your account will be provided to you during the rollout. If you have registered for a recycling cart as of Friday, September 9, 2017, you will also receive that cart during the rollout. Any recycling cart requests received after the above date will be delivered in the coming weeks following the initial cart transition. If you are interested in additional carts for either recycling or trash collection please contact Waste Pro.

2. When will my collection occur?

Trash and recycling will be collected weekly on your established service day. Some residences may be impacted by a service day change. Please look for your service day information sticker located on the carts during the rollout.

3. Can I use my own trash cart for curbside collection?

No. All customers must utilize Waste Pro issued trash and recycling carts or it will not be serviced.
