Trash: Our service is provided for everyday-generated household waste only. All material set out to the curb must be in leak-proof metal or plastic containers with tightly fitted lids or in heavy-duty plastic bags. Please make sure to put out your trash curbside the night before your scheduled pickup. If you would like to schedule the removal of more than the allowed amount of trash detailed above, there will be an additional charge. Advance notice with our customer support team is required. Please note that construction material, cleanout items, and remodeling debris are not considered household waste. Paints, stains, and gas containers are not accepted and are considered hazardous waste.

Bulk/Special Waste Removal and Set-Out Instructions: Collection can be scheduled for oversized bulky items and large household items (like appliances and any material used for renovation or construction projects). Place bulky items curbside, away from obstructions and contact customer support for pricing and to schedule a removal.

American Disposal will collect a maximum of ten bundles of tree limbs and brush, per pick-up, and a maximum of ten bags of leaves, per pick-up. Christmas trees are collected during the first two weeks in January and should be free of all decorations and not placed out in plastic bags. American Disposal will not be responsible for damage to streets, curbs, gutters, or sidewalks resulting from containers and bags or otherwise placed for collection (for example, grass clippings that seep and stain placement area).

Christmas Trees: Christmas trees will be collected during the first two weeks of January. All decorations, lights, tinsel, and garland must be removed from the tree. Do not place trees in plastic bags.
