Roadside Service
Our best value service for weekly pickup is an environmentally efficient express service on all public roads in our service area.
This is also our most popular option, and includes combinations of 90-gallon and 30-gallon carts for trash and recyclables.
Our fully automated truck will pick up your cart when you place it at the end of your driveway alongside the public roadway.
Choose the length of service that fits your situation.
Drive-in Service
This “Worry-Free” service is neat, clean, safe and reliable. Our mini garbage truck is easy on your driveway, fits perfectly down your private drive and will pick up your carts right at your house or garage. No need to drag your carts to the end of your driveway and back again!
Choose one or more 90-gallon carts for trash, paper, bottles and cans in the combination that will work best for your family.
No minimum service period is required. Flexible schedule options fit your needs. This is a great option for those wanting to take the “work” out of pickup day.
Green Bag Service
For those who don’t generate much trash or are not here for an extended time and don’t require the convenience of home pickup, we offer an economical solution using our Going Garbage “Green Bags”.
These prepaid bags can be purchased in our office at our Drop-off Site at 10564 Old Stage Road in Sister Bay.
They can be dropped off at the Drop-off Site during regular hours, or at your convenience 24/7/365 in the special container for these Green Bags only, located outside our drop site gate for after hours drop off.
Green Bags must be tied at the top and not exceed the weight or volume capacity.

Cart Placement
Due to the right side and overhead clearance needed for the "automated" truck to lift properly, we ask you to place your carts in a specific position and location as follows:
- The cart(s) must be placed on a hard, level surface, near the road with the handle facing away from the street, with a perimeter of 3 feet clearance from any obstacles, such as mailboxes, retaining walls, ditches, snow banks, etc.
- There must be a 15-foot overhead clearance, so please be sure that the cart(s) are not placed under any low hanging trees, power lines, etc.
- The cart(s) cannot be more than 6 feet back from the edge of the road or street or the arm will not be able to reach it.
- There must be no lid fasteners of any kind other than a hinged lid. Bungee cords, rocks, ropes, etc., cannot be used.
- If there is more than 1 cart, the carts must be set side by side as indicated above with at least 2 feet between each cart.
- The cart(s) have a maximum weight capacity indicated on the cover. Please be sure that the carts are not overfilled by weight or volume. If any item prevents the cover from not closing all the way, the container is considered overfull.
- Extra items outside of the cart(s) will not be taken with out prior authorization from you. Please contact our business office to schedule extra item pickups.
- Refer to our Residential Cart Placement Instructions (PDF) for a detailed drawing of cart placement.
