Hurricane Season is Here – Stay Safe & Follow Waste Guidelines

As we enter peak hurricane season, your safety is our top priority. Please review the following waste collection guidelines to help us serve you efficiently after a storm:

🗑️ First Week After the Storm

  • Priority Collection: We focus on removing perishable waste (e.g., spoiled food) due to power outages.
  • Regular Trash Pickup: Resumes as conditions allow.
  • Lawn Waste: Temporarily suspended during the emergency phase.

🌿 After the Emergency Phase

  • Grass Clippings: Use clear or brown paper bags (recommended, not required).
  • Household Trash: Use white bags (recommended, not required).
  • Important: Keep all bags separate from storm debris. (recommended to be in black bags)

🌳 What Counts as Storm Debris?

Storm debris includes materials from hurricanes, floods, or windstorms, such as:

  • Fallen trees, branches, and leaves
  • Damaged fences, roofing, or water-damaged household items

🚧 How to Prepare Storm Debris

  • Place storm debris at the curb, separate from regular trash.
  • Refer to the diagram (see picture) for proper placement.

⚠️ Important Reminders

  • Storm debris and construction/remodeling waste are not included in standard trash service.

Inclement Weather – Updated Garbage Collection Schedule

Do to circumstances beyond our control, Best Trash will be closed for regular operations tomorrow, Wednesday, January 22, 2025.

Please see the revised schedule below for the tentative schedule for the rest of the week.

  • Monday: We will run a regular service day.
  • Tuesday: Closed.
  • Wednesday: Closed.
  • Thursday: Delayed start.

Note: If the landfills close due to inclement weather, we cannot run our routes on those day(s).

The guidelines are subject to change depending on the actual weather conditions.

If we are unable to run our routes on your scheduled service day, your pick-up will be on the next scheduled service day.

If plants die due to the weather, they will be considered storm debris and handled accordingly.

Best wishes, and be safe.
