Service Guidelines

Please take a moment to read over the following service guidelines:

  • Poly carts are provided but remain the property of Bruin Waste Management. 
  • Carts must be curbside by 7 AM on the day of your service – Service will not always occur at the same time every week.
  • If you have two carts, please place them at 3 feet apart. 
  • NO HOT ASHES, LIQUIDS OR HAZARDOUS WASTE are allowed in the cart. Please feel free to contact us anytime you want clarification on a particular item you intend to dispose of.
  • No concrete, dirt or rocks are allowed in the cart.
  • Carts cannot weigh over 150 lbs.
  • Please place pine needles, grass clippings and sharp objects into bags to minimize contact and injury to our employees.
  • On occasion, if you plan to have an extra bag or two to the side of your cart, please notify the office to place a driver note on your account. If extra bags become a regular occurrence, there will be slight extra, per bag, charges.  
  • Please do not place items in the cart that you do not intend to throw away. Only trash destined for the landfill is to be placed in the carts. Bruin Waste Management is not responsible for items lost in the trash streams.

Your first bill will arrive shortly after you begin service and will be prorated according to your start date.

Hazardous materials are classified differently by country, state, county and city. Be familiar with or ask one of our Regional Office team members what is acceptable in your area’s recycling centers and landfills.
