Recycling List

Best Trash is your trash collection provider.

*TRASH days are TUESDAY and FRIDAY. *

Please have trash out by 7:00 am each pick up day.

Trash must be either in containers or bags not exceeding 40 gallons or weighing over 40 pounds.

On each regularly scheduled collection TUESDAY & FRIDAY, Best Trash will collect residential refuse located at the curbside. Refuse must be in containers or bags not exceeding 40 gallons or weighing over 40 pounds.

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. Please do not dispose of gasoline, motor oil, paints, cooking oil, or any other liquid items in a container that is not visible to Contractor personnel. If it results in spillage, that causes a stain, Best Trash is not responsible for the clean up. Best Trash will leave a tag explaining the reason for non-collected item(s).

Trees, shrubs, brush trimmings and fencing must be bundled in lengths no greater than 4 feet with no branch diameter exceeding 3 inches. The bundling is required to allow quick pickup and size limitations are required to avoid damaging the equipment in the crushing process.

Items such as appliances, furniture, carpet (up to 1 room, cut and rolled up in bundles four feet wide and less than 40 pounds), cardboard boxes (flattened), will be picked up either of your collection days. 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.

An enhanced feature of BEST TRASH is special pick up for items excluded by the contract. If notified in advance, Best Trash will meet with you prior to a collection day to determine a price to haul away non-contract items. If you do not notify Best Trash of such a special pick-up before your scheduled pick up day, Best Trash will leave a notice for you to contact Best Trash during normal office hours to arrange for a price and time for the extra pick up.

Holidays: If your 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.

New Curbside Recycle Program

August 1, 2014 by HCMUD 71

Recycling day is every Friday
Please have trash AND recyclables out by 7:00 am

The District has partnered with Best Trash to offer a curbside recycling program. 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, unless it is CLEARLY marked “RECYCLING”.

Best Trash will collect all paper products, plastics 1-7, aluminum and tin cans and all colors of glass that are placed within the provided recycling bin. If items exceed container capacity, please place them adjacent to bin in well marked as RECLYCLING in containers or bins up to 40 gallons in size. The District will provide each current residence with one recycling bin. Best Trash will drop off the new recycling bin the week of May 27th, and Best Trash 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 $9.00 each by calling Best Trash.
