Report a Missed Trash Pickup
1. Make sure you're eligible for pick-up
Ask yourself the below 5 questions. There may be a reason why your trash wasn't picked up. Follow the instructions after each question to find why your trash wasn't picked up:
- Have you checked your balance to make sure you have sufficient funds for pick up? Check this by phone or online here.
- Did you have your trash out on your correct collection date? If you're unsure of your collection date, you can look it up
here. - Was your cart put out before 7 AM on your collection day? We require this for pick-up.
- Was there a tag left on your cart alerting you of a potential issue? The driver may have left a tag for many possible reasons.
- Cart not at the curb
- Cart blocked or inaccessible (too close to other items such as a phone pole, mail box, other cart)
- Open bags or loose items in the cart
- Unpaid account balance
- Service not active
- Don't see a tag? Give us a call.
- Are you trying to put in a request for missed pick-up before 3 PM? Hold tight. We may still have crews out there working on collections. If your trash is still hasn't been collected after 3 PM, give us a call.
2. Still unsure of why your cart wasn't emptied?
Give us a call. All misses need to be reported within 1 business day. We can only go back and retrieve within this timeframe. If you're trying to request a pick-up after this timeframe, you will have to wait until your next one.
