American Disposal monitors our costs in order to provide you with the highest level of customer service. With the cost of equipment, landfill, labor, insurance, and other operating expenses on the rise, we must unfortunately pass on a portion of these escalated costs.

Once your account has been suspended or cancelled due to a past due balance, we require that the account balance be paid in full for services to reinstate.

We Accept:

Bulk Waste: Bulk goods are defined as non-electrical, oversized goods that can be compacted in the back of a collection truck. Materials collected as part of our bulk goods removal service include sofas, cabinetry, large furniture, mattresses, box springs, grills, lawn mowers, etc.

Materials collected as part of our white goods removal service include: refrigerators, dryers, washing machines, water heaters, televisions, etc. *Freon must be removed prior to collection.

How do I set out my Yard Waste / Debris?

Set-out Instructions:
Grass clippings and leaves are to be placed curbside in brown paper bags OR un-bagged in a personal container clearly marked “yard waste”. Clear plastic bags used for yard waste collection are also acceptable at this time. While clear plastic bags are an acceptable method for collection at this time, they do cause issues at the facility that composts your yard waste.

Each tree limb or piece of brush must be no longer than 4 feet in length and 3 inches thick in diameter. Limbs and brush must be bundled with rope or twine for ease of collection and placement into the truck. Items that are bagged, bundled or placed in your cart may not exceed 50 lb. Mulch, dirt, rock, and sod can NOT be placed curbside.

We will collect up to 5 bags per customer per pick up.
*If you reside in a Municipality or HOA please refer to your community guidelines as those may require more specific preparation requirements.

For an alternative, more eco-friendly method for yard waste disposal, considering starting your own backyard compost pile and/or leaving your grass clippings on your lawn in order to replenish the nutrients in the soil, ensuring a healthy-looking lawn.

What is considered as Construction/Renovation Waste?

Any material that is used for building or renovation projects is considered ‘construction waste.’ Construction was materials include: concrete (powder or solid form), brick, block, asphalt, siding, pallets, etc.

We CANNOT collect construction waste in our curbside collection trucks. Please contact Customer Support to see if your construction waste warrants a special pick up or is best suited for our Roll-Off Dumpster Service, which can handle large amounts of renovation or construction waste. For more information click here.

Do you recycle construction debris? 

Yes! Construction Debris will be recycled at C&D facilities and require a roll-off dumpster. Construction Debris cannot be recycled in your standard trash or recycling cart. Explore our Roll Off Dumpster Service here.

Do I need to use American Disposal containers?
No. ADSI containers are normally supplied with service when you sign up. We offer containers with wheels and lids. If a personal container is used, it must be a 30-gallon or larger outdoor receptacle. American Disposal Services Inc. is not responsible for any lost, stolen or damaged personal containers.

Can I put my address on my equipment?
All of our carts are numbered with a serial number. We encourage our customers to record this number in a safe place should they ever need to locate a missing cart. If you prefer to label our equipment with something more customized, we request the use of material that is durable, but that can be removed (ex. mailbox letters/numbers). Paint and other permanent markings are not to be used to mark American Disposal Services equipment (ex. mailbox letters/numbers).

Can I get an additional trash or recycling container?

Can I use my recycling cart for trash?
No. Your recycling cart is to be used for the sole purpose of collecting recyclables.

What items can be recycled?

• Plastic: PET #1 plastic containers and bottles, HDPE #2 natural and colored containers and bottles, and all wide mouth plastics labeled #5. We also accept jugs, buckets, and plastic toys. Black plastic containers are NOT accepted, this item is just simply not recyclable!
• Metal: Aluminum cans, steel cans and aerosol cans.
• Cardboard: Old corrugated cardboard, flattened shipping/moving boxes, paperboard (ex. cereal boxes, frozen food boxes). Wax coated cardboard items like a oatmeal container are not recyclable.
• Carton: Any types of cartons (for food, drinks, etc.).

Recycling Tips:

• All recyclables should be Empty, Clean, Dry and Loose – Food and moisture can ruin the Paper + Cardboard!

• Cardboard Boxes must be broken down and flat (preferably bundled and tied).

What is single stream recycling?
Single Stream Recycling is an improved system in which recyclables such as plastics, paper, cardboard, carton, and metals are put into a single recycling bin. ADSI collects those recyclables and transports them to Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs) where they are sorted and processed.

Do you recycle construction debris? 

Yes! Construction Debris will be recycled at C&D facilities and require a roll-off dumpster. Construction Debris cannot be recycled in your standard trash or recycling cart. Explore our Roll Off Dumpster Service here

Do you recycle electronics?
No.

Recycling Tip: Electronics may be donated for recycle at a local retailer. For more information click here.

What cannot be recycled?

Recycle elsewhere – But NOT in your bin

• Plastic Bags, Ziploc bags, films, and wraps – #PlasticBagProblems. Please return to your local grocery store.
• Hazardous and E-Waste – Check with your city for recycling options.
• Textiles – These can be reused. Please donate!
• Batteries – Return at your local home improvement store.

NOT Recyclable – Put these items in your trash

• Shredded Paper – Good for composting, too small to sort out at recycling facilities
• Diapers – Yuck! Think about it…
• Styrofoam – Not recyclable, but good for energy production.
• Hoses and Cords – Conveyor belts and tanglers just don’t mix.

Here is our Top 10 Contaminant List 

Why is the recycling symbol on Styrofoam, Plastic coated paper or other non-recyclable products?
The recycling symbol isn’t regulated and materials like Styrofoam have very low weight and only very few places that recycle it.

Do I need to remove bottle and jar caps?
No!

Recycling Tip: Donate bottle and jar caps to charities like the Upcycle Creative Reuse Center

Why should items be placed loosely in the bin?
Your mixed recycle bin is sorted into different categories for recycling. If you have placed items inside one another, the machines will not be able to sort them.

Why should recycling items be empty, clean and dry?
If items once contained food or liquid they must be rinsed clean and given a shake to remove the water before going into your recycle bin. Food and liquid can contaminate the materials. Extremely wet paper or cardboard products will fall apart and are marked as not recyclable.

What are the collection days for my neighborhood?

Individually billed customers may log into My Trash Account to view your collection days, or you can view your calendar here.

When should I put my items out for pickup?

The truck arrival time at your home may vary depending on a number of factors, many can be out of our control. Homeowners are advised to have all items out at the curb the night before or curbside by 7 A.M. Do not place your containers next to any objects (car, fence, mailbox, etc.) that may impede access or obstruct sight of your items.

Will I be charged for items outside the container?

We will collect a maximum of 1 96-gallon trash can or 3-30-gallon trash cans and up to 5 additional bags of everyday generated household waste as part of our service.  If you would like to schedule the removal of more than the allowable amount of trash or a bulk item(s), there will be an additional charge and advanced notice is required.

What do I do if my service has stopped, or my equipment has been removed for non-payment?

Once your account has been suspended or canceled due to a past due balance, we require that the account balance be paid in full for services to reinstate. Please contact Customer Support to ensure service will reinstate once payment has been made. Reinstatement fee of up to $35.00 may apply.
