FAQ

My pick up day is the same day as a holiday, when will I get picked up?
If you are a residential customer, your pick up day will be the next business day after the holiday. If you are a commercial or industrial business, it could be the day before or the day after time permitting.

What materials are NOT allowed in your dumpsters?
There are several rules and regulations Black Hawk County imposes on the materials going into the landfill, too many to list. Some of the items they penalize for or refuse are appliances, tires, batteries, yard waste, hazardous waste, and liquids. If you have items you are unsure if the landfill will take, please contact us prior to putting it in the can and we can give you a definite answer. Some materials we are able to take to other facilities to be recycled.

What are your hours of business?
Our business hours are 8:00 am to 5:00 Monday thru Thursday and 8:00 am to 4:30 pm on Fridays.

Someone else is dumping their garbage into my can. What can I do?
First, you can report it to your local law enforcement. Dumping trash on someone else’s property is illegal and punishable by law. Second, you may contact us and we can install a locking system on your container. There are essentially 3 different styles of locking systems with a small one-time charge for labor and materials.

How much does it cost for a container?
There are many variables we use when pricing a container for use. Size, location, and material determine a large part of the pricing process. Larger containers hold more material and have a larger landfill fee. Distance from our shop is also a primary factor due to time it takes to deliver and dump the can. Last but not least, material is another concern. Obviously we will not charge the same amount if someone is throwing away paper as opposed to brick.

How long does it take to get a container?
We can usually get a container out to our customers within 24 hours of ordering. Certain application, such as weekends or requiring a specific truck for delivery, may require a longer lead time.
