Will my pickup day change because of a holiday?

Pride Disposal & Recycling drivers work all holidays other than Christmas Day and New Year's Day. If the holiday falls on a weekday during the Christmas or New Year's week, service will occur one day later, starting with the holiday and through the end of the week, with the new collection schedule concluding on Saturday. For example, if the holiday falls on a Thursday, customers with service on Thursdays will receive service on Friday, and Friday customers will be picked up on Saturday. If the holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, there will be no change in the pickup schedule for that week.

To put a hold on your service, you must contact our office at least one business day in advance of your collection day. We cannot accommodate holds retroactively. Some restrictions may apply.

How can I save money on my service?

The best way to save money on services is to use a garbage receptacle correctly sized for your needs. If you are not filling your garbage cart or container each week or are overfilling it consistently, it may be cost-effective to choose a garbage receptacle more appropriately sized for your service needs. Contact our office for information on the services available to you.

Will my collection be impacted by inclement weather?

When dealing with inclement weather, safety is our priority. The safety of our employees is important to us, and we prioritize their well-being whether they're behind the wheels of our trucks or traveling to and from work. Your safety is also important to us, and we may alter our collection services during inclement weather if we determine regular procedures may pose a danger to people or property. When roads are covered in snow and ice, for instance, it may be difficult for our trucks to safely stop and start at every home. If we make the decision to alter our collection services in any way due to weather, we will do our best to notify all customers of the change.
