Automated Rubbish Collection

Use the gray waste container provided by EDCO to dispose of non-hazardous/non-recyclable household waste.

Please set out your container—in an unobstructed area—at street level, with the wheels against the curb (or at the edge of the roadway).

Waste and recycling containers should be set out for collection prior to 6 a.m. on your service day.

Collection Day Set-Out

Place waste and recycling containers at the curb for collection. Please avoid placing waste cans next to obstructions, such as parked cars, utility poles, etc.

Please be careful not to place waste cans in areas of traffic, such as bike lanes, in order to avoid blocking paths of travel.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding placement of your waste or recycling container, please contact our office and a customer service representative will be happy to assist you.

Temporary-Use Dumpsters & Roll-Off Containers

Are you planning a home improvement or yard clean-up project? Get a bin to throw it in! Call EDCO to order a temporary-use dumpster for on-site debris collection. A 3 cubic yard dumpster will hold approximately the same amount of debris as 20 standard trash cans.

For bigger projects, ask about our roll-off containers. Different size containers will be provided depending on the weight of material to be disposed of. We also offer security vans for on-site storage of valuable tools and building supplies.
