How Pickup Works

  1. Sign Up: Share your address (pin/description helps for rural roads) and choose weekly or bi-weekly.

  2. Get Your Cart(s): We deliver sturdy carts sized for rural use.

  3. Set Out: Place carts by 7:00 AM on your service day with the lid fully closed. Leave 4 ft of clearance on all sides (no fences, vehicles, mailboxes blocking).

  4. We Collect: Our driver services your route; we’ll tag items that require special handling.

  5. Extras & Holds: Text us to schedule bulk items or pause service when you’re away.

Winter & Mud Season Tips: Bag all trash tightly, keep lids closed, place carts at the firmest shoulder/drive pad available, and clear snow berms so carts roll easily. If a private road is impassable, we’ll coordinate a safe alternate set-out point.

Do you service gated drives or long private roads?
Yes, where accessible. Provide gate codes/contacts and note turnarounds, low branches, cattle guards, or weight limits.
