We Apologize For Any Delays While We Restore Service

Arwood Waste, AW Waste Management and our partner waste companies in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina are hard at work to restore waste services to the affected areas in the wake of Hurricane Matthew. With widespread damage across large parts of 4 states, we understand that residents of these areas will have increased needs for debris cleanup in the coming weeks and we are working tirelessly to meet those needs.

Call Us At (888) 413-5105 If You Have Service Questions or Additional Waste Needs During This Cleanup Process

With our headquarters in Jacksonville, Florida, our staff takes the cleanup challenges you might be facing personally. As local landfills re-open and diesel fuel becomes available again in the Southeast U.S., we will continue working to restore scheduled waste services and meet the increased demand for debris cleanup in these areas.

Post Storm Clean Up Tips & Safety Reminders

As you clean up your home or business following this storm remember these debris clean up tips and safety reminders to keep you and your family out of harm’s way:

• Do not drive through flooded areas. Turn around, don’t drown!
• As you clean yard debris, watch out for falling items such as branches or trees limbs.
• Do not block roads or streets with waste and debris piles.
• Separate yard debris from household or structural debris piles for waste pickup.
• Consider hiring a demolition company such as Dependable Demolition for professional demolition debris clean up services.
• If possible, cut large trees and pieces of debris in to 4 foot segments. Note: It may take several trips for all debris to be removed.
• As flood waters recede watch out for snakes and other dangerous animals.
• Check for structural damage and watch out for falling drywall.
• If you need to use a generator, make sure it is outside and well ventilated to prevent the buildup of deadly fumes.

Arwood Waste is here to help with Roll Off Dumpsters and Portable Toilet Rentals.

Happy World Space Week

Next week is the official, United Nation’s declared, World Space Week. Every year during this week, the world comes together to celebrate space innovation and technological developments leading to a better society. National Garbage Man Day wants to remind you that the need for garbage collection is not just an Earthly problem!

Space Waste Solutions

Through partner initiatives like Space Waste Solutions, we are working to find innovative ways of dealing with trash, even in outer space! Every technological advance into space exploration has left a growing problem orbiting our planet. The need for the garbage man goes beyond our atmosphere.

The Problem of Orbiting Space Trash

Did you know that right now there are more than 750,000 pieces of space debris orbiting the Earth at over 15,000 mph? It’s true. The results of the space race along with government and private industry launches of countless satellites have produced a growing problem in need of innovative solutions. This space junk poses a threat to those on Earth, as it often falls back into the atmosphere containing toxic chemicals, as well as to current and future space missions due to the increasing potential for impacts with space craft.

Now is the Time for Action

What better time to harness our ingenuity and creativity to develop solutions for this expanding issue then now. As the world turns it’s eyes to the heavens this week, we must also start working towards solutions to keep them free and clean. Ideas and inventions like the Solar Space Waste Incineration System will mark a way forward but we have to start now.
