Trash Pickup FAQs
Trash Pickup FAQs
What do I do if my trash or recycling was missed?
If you believe your service was missed, please call our office immediately. We utilize advanced routing software and integrated cameras on every truck, which allows us to accurately “get to the bottom” of any service interruption.
When calling, please keep in mind that while your pickup day remains consistent, your pickup time can vary daily due to shifting routes, traffic, or Wisconsin weather conditions. To ensure service, please have your bins out by 6:00am on your scheduled day. (Best practice is to put them out the night before!) Our onboard cameras also help us identify if a bin was blocked by a vehicle or if it was packed so tightly that the material couldn’t physically fall out during the dump cycle. If we truly missed you, we will use our data to find a solution right away.
How much does your residential trash and recycling service cost?
Our rates are determined by your specific service address. From Antigo and Aniwa to Lily and Deerbrook, pricing is tailored to ensure you get the best local rate possible within our service area.
To get an exact price for your home, please fill out our convenient online form for a free, no-obligation quote, or give us a call now to speak with a member of our local team!
How much will fit in a 96 gallon bin?
Our standard 96-gallon residential carts are designed to handle a week’s worth of waste for a typical household of 4 to 6 people. To give you a better idea of the volume, a 96-gallon bin can hold:
7 to 8 tall kitchen bags (13-gallon size)
What items are NOT allowed in the recycling bin?
Link to official Wisconsin DNR recycling guidelines.
Plastic Bags: No grocery bags, bubble wrap, or plastic stretch wrap (these tangle in sorting machines).
“Tanglers”: No garden hoses, holiday lights, ropes, or electrical cords.
Food-Soiled Items: No greasy pizza boxes, used paper plates, or unrinsed food jars.
Specific Glass: No window glass, mirrors, ceramics, drinking glasses, or Pyrex.
Foam Packaging: No Styrofoam cups, egg cartons, or packing peanuts.
Paper Contaminants: No tissue paper, paper towels, napkins, or waxed cardboard.
Batteries & Electronics: No rechargeable batteries or anything with a cord/circuit board (these are major fire hazards).
Hazardous Containers: No motor oil bottles or containers that held pesticides or chemicals.
Medical Waste: No needles or sharps (even if they are in a plastic jug).
Pro-Tips for Recycling Success:
Keep it Loose: Never bag your recyclables. Empty them directly into the bin so the sorting team can see them.
The “3-Inch Rule”: Many facilities cannot process items smaller than 3 inches (like loose plastic bottle caps). It is best to screw caps back onto the rinsed bottles.
When in Doubt, Throw it Out: Putting the wrong items in the bin can contaminate an entire truckload of good recycling, turning it all into trash.
What items are NOT allowed in trash cans?
- Hazardous Waste: Paints (oil-based), solvents, pesticides, antifreeze, motor oil, pool chemicals, fuels, mercury (from thermostats/bulbs).
- Electronics (E-Waste): TVs, computers, monitors, cell phones, microwaves.
- Batteries: Rechargeable, car, and lithium batteries.
- Medical Waste: Needles, syringes, lancets (must be in approved sharps containers).
- Appliances: Refrigerators, washers, dryers, air conditioners (contain refrigerants/hazardous parts).
- Tires: Car and truck tires.
- Yard Waste: Grass clippings, leaves, branches.
- Construction/Demolition Debris: Concrete, bricks, asphalt, shingles.
- Ammunition/Explosives.
What is the holiday schedule for trash and recycling pickup?
As a local, family-owned company, we observe 6 holidays to allow our team to spend time with their families.
Typically, if your pickup day falls on a holiday, service will be delayed by one day for the remainder of that week. Download your area’s specific schedule by clicking here or follow us on social media for real-time updates in Antigo and surrounding areas.
How should I place my bins for the automated claw to reach them?
To ensure a seamless pickup, place your trash and recycling carts at the curb with the wheels facing your house and at least 3 feet of clearance from the other bin, mailboxes, trees, or parked cars.
This gives our automated claw enough space to safely grip and lift the containers without any obstructions. This increased efficiency helps us keep your rates low. Learn more.
How does the automated split-body truck service work?
Our automated split-body trucks use a robotic arm to lift your bins, meaning faster and cleaner service for your neighborhood and enhanced safety for our drivers.
These trucks feature two separate internal compartments that allow us to collect your trash and recycling in one stop while keeping them 100% separated for processing. Learn more.
How can I dispose of a battery, mattress, large appliance, tires, or old electronics?
Disposing of “specialty” items like these requires specific handling to meet environmental and safety regulations. If you have any of these items—including household electronics, old tires, mattresses, or large appliances—please call us directly at 715-216-4012.
We will help you determine the best disposal method for these items, as they typically carry individual disposal fees separate from your standard dumpster rental.
Can I pause my trash and recycling service when I'm not home?
Yes, we do offer the option to pause your service, but we ask that these be handled seasonally. To qualify for a service pause, the pause must be for a duration of at least one full quarter (three months) of the year.
This option is perfect for our snowbirds or anyone planning an extended time away from their property. Simply contact our office in advance to schedule your seasonal pause, and we will handle the routing adjustments for you.
