During the Holiday Season, we all tend to generate a lot more trash. It’s to be expected, but having all those extra things to throw away can present some challenges. Here are some tips for making things a little easier on yourself (and on us too!):
Be sure you know the holiday collection schedule.
* follow us on FacebooK.
*Don’t advertise your new toys to everyone driving by your house. So, you got a huge flat screen TV from your wife for Christmas? That’s great, but don’t set the box out by your Container for everyone to see. Break it down and put it inside 13 Gallon bags, or better yet you can help not to incur an extra fee, due to going over your bag limit on your next statement and take it to the Recycling center.
*When you get new stuff, don’t automatically throw all the old items in the trash. If you were Blessed to get a new appliance, piece of furniture or electronic item, find out if the seller of the new item has any type of an exchange program. Another option, if the old items are still in good condition is to look for places to donate them. Someone in need or just setting up a household might really appreciate that couch. Some items, such as toys with rechargeable batteries, can even be harmful if placed in the trash, so be sure you’re disposing of these items properly.
*Remember the weight limit. It may be tempting to shove as much trash in that bag as you can, but the 12- 15 lb. limit (for bags) still applies during the holiday season. If your bag is deemed to be too heavy, it will likely NOT be picked up.
*Split it up. If you have a large number of extra bags, consider putting a few bags out each week, rather than all at once. Just choose the bags you’re saving for next week wisely, making sure they don’t contain anything that will smell up your garage/house/garbage can.
*Be prepared for us to arrive at any time. During the holidays your pickup can vary more than usual. A big increase in the volume of trash we pick up can cause our routes to run earlier or later than usual.
*Understand that your next invoice may contain extra charges. Any time you go over your bag limit, there will be a charge for each extra bag. If you don’t know what your limit is, contact us.
