Guide for Residential Curbside Services
WEEKLY CURBSIDE SERVICE
All garbage, recycling and yardwaste equipment and service is included in one monthly rate. Your rate is determined by the size of your garbage cart. Please call 876-3340 for specific rates in your area.
GarbageSelect a size of gray cart for weekly collection –
35, 65, or 95 gallon. You’ll save by reducing your waste.
YardwasteCustomers are entitled to up to two brown yardwaste carts at no charge.
Yardwaste consists of grass clippings, leaves, garden prunings & branches 6” diameter or smaller. Please no rocks, dirt, animal waste or painted wood. Items outside the cart will not be picked-up. Only company-owned containers will be serviced.
RecyclingRecycling is free with your garbage service. Select a
95 or 65 gallon blue cart for mixed recycling. Put all recyclables (paper, bottles, cans, plastic, metals, etc.) together. Please remember to flatten boxes, rinse & empty containers, and keep recyclables loose (avoid plastic bags, string or tape). For a complete list of acceptable items – click here or look in your phone book’s “Recycle Guide.”
All carts have wheels for your convenience.
All garbage services are avaliable weekly.
All recycling and yardwaste services are avaliable bi-monthly.
Items outside the cart will not be picked-up.
Only company-owned containers will be serviced.
Please no hazardous wastes such as automotive fluids, pesticides and fertilizers, paint products, cleaners, batteries, etc.
All carts must be placed roadside before 6:00am the day of your service.
For highest efficiency, put your carts out for service only when they are full.
Place your carts two feet apart and 4-6 feet from any obstruction, such as cars, mailboxes, or basketball hoops, so the collection truck can easily approach the cart.
Place the cart so the lid opens toward the street and the handle is away from the street.
MEDICAL EXCUSE / OFF STREET PICKUP
If (for medical reasons) no one in your household is able to place the carts at the curb, NRWS will collect the carts off street at no charge. A medical note from a physician must be filed annually with NRWS for this service.
BEYOND THE STREET PICKUP
If you’re unable to place your carts at the street curb (example: for long driveways) NRWS will drive to the point of pickup for an extra charge that depends on the distance from the street. Call for rates.
VACATION STOP
Customers may stop service 2 x per year and may stop service for a minimum of 4 weeks and NRWS will not charge for that period. You must call ahead 2 business days to arrange for this service.
TOURS & PRESENTATIONS
What happens to your recyclables and yardwaste after you put them in your curbside carts?
NRWS is in the forefront of recycling and our customers are largely responsible for that. We invite your organization, business, or school to take a tour and see our recycling and composting facility first-hand. We are also available for presentations about the economic and environmental benefits of recycling – we’ll modify our presentation to make it age appropriate.
SPECIAL EVENT RECYCLING
Special events provide a great opportunity to recycle…do you wonder why it is missing at so many events?
NRWS is committed to increasing recycling at Paradise events and helping you make it work. When you call us for service for your event we’ll help you select the right recycling and trash containers for your needs and we’ll provide guidelines for successful event recycling. State and County policies require recycling at large events. Plus, recycling will save you money because there is no charge for separated recyclables at events…while there is always a charge for trash collection.
