Ruggiero Trash and Recycling is proud to serve the Westminster community with comprehensive municipal trash services. This article is designed to provide residents of Westminster with detailed and helpful information about our services, ensuring a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment for all.
Understanding Your Trash Services
Regular Trash Collection
- Scheduled Pickups: We provide regular trash collection services on a predetermined schedule. Residents can expect timely and consistent pickups, ensuring that waste does not accumulate in the community.
- What to Dispose: Our services are designed for typical household waste. This includes kitchen trash, non-recyclable packaging, and other general refuse generated in your home.
- How to Prepare Your Trash: Please ensure that all waste is bagged securely and placed in designated bins. Overfilled or improperly secured bags can lead to littering and attract wildlife.
Recycling Services
- Recyclables We Accept: We encourage residents to participate in our recycling program. We accept a variety of materials, including paper, cardboard, plastic bottles and containers, metal cans, and glass bottles and jars.
- Recycling Preparation: Please rinse and clean all containers before recycling. Flatten cardboard boxes to save space in your recycling bin.
- Collection Schedule: Recycling pickups are conducted on the same day as trash collection. This makes it convenient for residents to remember and participate in the recycling program.
Special and Bulky Item Disposal
- Arranging Pickup: For large items that cannot be disposed of through regular trash collection, such as furniture or large appliances, please contact us in advance to arrange a special pickup.
- Fees and Restrictions: Depending on the item, there may be additional fees for disposal. Please note that hazardous materials are not accepted.
Yard Waste Collection
- Seasonal Service: We offer yard waste collection services during specific times of the year, typically in the spring and fall. This service includes the disposal of leaves, grass clippings, and small branches.
- Preparation Guidelines: Please place yard waste in biodegradable bags or designated bins. Branches should be cut to manageable lengths and bundled.
Holiday and Emergency Services
Our commitment to the community doesn’t pause during holidays or emergencies. We offer collection services on all holidays, except for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Day. In the event of an emergency or severe weather conditions, we strive to maintain our services or provide prompt updates on any changes.
