On December 1, 2005, WCA Waste (WCA) will be your new trash and recycling collection provider.

TRASH SERVICE days will remain every Monday and Thursday. RECYCLE SERVICE DAY HAS CHANGED TO MONDAY. Trash must be placed at the curb no later than 7 am.

On each regularly scheduled collection day, WCA will collect residential refuse located at the curbside, refuse must be either in containers or bags not exceeding 50 gallons or weighing over 50 pounds.

Trees, shrubs, brush trimmings and fencing must be bundled in lengths no greater than four (4) feet with no branch diameter exceeding three (3) inches. The bundling is required to allow quick pickup and size limitations are required to avoid damaging the equipment in the crushing process. All residential waste materials except tree and yard waste must be either in containers, bags or bundles not exceeding fifty (50) pounds.

Items such as appliances, furniture, carpet (up to 1 room, rolled up four feet wide and less than fifty pounds), cardboard boxes (flattened), will be picked up either day. By Federal Law, refrigerators and freezers or any other items containing Freon must be drained of Freon and have an accompanying bill to validate such service was performed.

Items excluded from normal collection are dirt, rocks, bricks, concrete, tires, batteries, motor oil, cooking oil, waste generated by a private contractor or any materials or items deemed hazardous materials. WCA will leave a tag explaining the reason for non-collected item(s).

Other than normal amounts of residential refuse, yard trimmings or bulk items, if notified in advance, WCA will meet with a resident prior to collection day to determine a price. If a resident does not notify WCA of such a special pick-up before its scheduled day, then WCA will leave a notice for the resident to contact Contractor during normal office hours before the next scheduled pick up day.

WCA will clean up any spillage that occurs during the collection or recycling process; provided, however, that if gasoline, motor oil, paints, cooking oil, or any other liquid items in a container that is not visible to Contractor personnel results in spillage that causes a stain, WCA cannot be responsible.

RECYCLING COLLECTIONS

Recycling items will be collected on MONDAY. Please note that your recycling day has changed to MONDAY.

WCA guarantees it will transport the collected recyclable materials to a processing center.

WCA takes great pride in our recycling program and efforts, including the curb sorting of materials, guaranteeing the best quality material going to the Processors. Ensuring the best recycle program for our customers takes time and effort on both sides. Please remove caps, liquids and food products from inside the containers. Please only use the recycle bins for recyclable materials, not as an extra trash container.

WCA will collect newspapers, plastics 1 and 2 (look for classification stamp on items), aluminum and tin cans that are placed within the provided recycling bin. If items exceed container capacity, please place them adjacent to bin.

In the event that any of the current items become uneconomic to recycle as determined by market conditions set forth by the Processors, WCA will notify residents of such change. Glass is currently an uneconomical item for recycling by the Processors and is not currently collected as part of the recycling program.

WCA will provide each current residence with one recycling bin. WCA will replace any bins that are defective or otherwise become unusable due to normal wear and tear. Theft, lost or additional bins can be replaced at $6.00 each.

If you find items left in your bin they are not recyclable, Please dispose of these items in your trash container for the next scheduled pick up.

When regular pick-up falls on a holiday, (New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, July 4th – Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day), the pick-up will be made on the next regular scheduled pick-up day.
