You will be given a 5-gallon bucket with lid. If you are interested in purchasing a countertop bin for $10 then we have one that is available you can order in our store during checkout.
If your bucket is damaged or lost/stolen you will be charged a $10 fee to replace it. However, if your bucket is defective then it will be replaced at no cost.
Leave the bucket at the front of your garage so that it is easy accessible for the driver and it is safe. If you leave it out on the same day of your regular refuse pickup please do not leave it next to those garbage bins.
It is recommended that you use a counter top bin and open your 5-gallon bucket only when putting material in it as well as keeping the lid closed.
You can put coffee grinds and shredded black and white newspaper pages no colored ink, please.
We do not suggest you buy your own buckets, as we have tested which buckets do not lead to having odors or pests. The buckets provided are made in the U.S.A. and FDA grade proved bucket. Your buckets will be picked up once a week thereby reducing the odors.
If you do not need a pick up on that week just email glenda@groundsforapeel.com
No, it will be picked up on the same days as other residents in your route.
Please let us know 14 days in advance of the final pickup date or as soon as possible so that we can adjust billing and scheduled pickups.
You can cancel WITHIN 72 HOURS of your next pick up, but if you do so after the first of the month then you will not be given a refund. Your scraps will picked up until the end of that month and your bucket will be collected when the month is over. You can email glenda@groundsforapeel.com or call at 917-647-7348.
