Can I use my own cans instead of your bin?
No. The bin is provided to you as part of the service because our trucks use automated arms to lift and empty the contents.
What do I do if my bin was not picked up?
Call us immediately at 775-372-1444 if your garbage is not picked up by the end of your regularly scheduled day. Please remember that collection times can vary from week to week due to such things as equipment issues, traffic, or new routing.
How soon can I get my bin or roll-off delivered or emptied?
If you have already established service with us, we require a 24-hour notice to put the request in for the following day. If you have not had service with us prior, you will need to visit our office or call 775-372-1444 to establish an account before we can deliver a container.
How do I schedule a bulky item pickup?
Bulky items such as furniture and appliances or items that will not fit in your garbage bin can be collected separately from regular garbage service. There is a fee for service. Call us at 775-372-1444 to arrange for collection.
How do I rent a temporary clean- up bin for my kitchen remodel or massive spring clean?
Please call us at 775-372-1444 to arrange for delivery of clean-up bin to your home. Small bins are available for light projects, and larger debris boxes are available for extensive projects such as remodels, construction, or landscape tear-outs.
Rates for Commercial customer C&D roll-off boxes include a County Landfill fee.
Do you have bins that lock?
Yes. Locking bins are available for an additional minimal fee. Please allow up to 2 weeks for the bin to be ready since they are made to order.
Is there a weight limit for carts, bins, and roll-off boxes?
Yes. If you are filling a container with material such as roof shingles, concrete, dirt, manure, etc. you may only fill it one half (1/2) full. If it is overloaded and too heavy, you may have to empty some contents. Alternatively, a second bin or box may have to be delivered, and you may have to transfer some contents into this additional bin. This may result in added costs to you.
