Pricing Structure

Preparation Guidelines

Please place materials at the curb or designated area. We ask that leaves and grass be bagged, but branches up to 4 inches in diameter can be tied in bundles.

  • Materials should be accessible and not blocked by vehicles
  • Separate recyclables when possible
  • Large piles can be left loose for easier loading
  • Contact us if you have items that may require special handling
