WCA Waste (WCA) is our trash & recycling collection provider.
TRASH COLLECTION DAYS – TUESDAY & FRIDAY
RECYCLE DAY IS FRIDAY
HEAVY TRASH PICK UP DAY IS FRIDAY
Please have trash out at curb by 7:00 am each pick up day.
On each regularly scheduled collection day TUESDAY and FRIDAY, WCA will collect residential refuse located at the curbside; refuse must be either in containers or bags not exceeding 40 gallons or weighing over 40 pounds.
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.
All residential waste materials except tree and yard waste must be either in containers, bags or bundles not exceeding 40 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.
RECYCLE DAY IS EVERY FRIDAY
The City of Meadows Place takes great pride in our recycling program and so does WCA. Ensuring the best recycle program 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.
As a reminder, trash should not be put out for collection before 1:00 p.m. on the day before regular collections. Additionally, empty trash cans and recycling bins should be promptly removed from curbside after pickup. Trash, trash cans, recycling bins, or rubbish should not be visible from street.
The current monthly rate for trash collection is $18.10.
Heavy trash collection takes place each Friday.
