Holiday Waste Pickup Schedule

Arwood Waste wants to celebrate all the holidays with you too. This is why we created a Holiday Pick-up schedule so you can make arrangements and placement of your waste material while we spend time with our families. Businesses that currently receive collection may have different schedules and procedures than residential customers since business garbage is normally collected separately from residential garbage.

Call us toll free at 1-800-477-0854 today and ask us how we can save you time and money.

Collection service will be postponed by one day following these holidays:

• New Year’s Day – No Service on January 1st. One day delay. Example; Tuesday collection day will be serviced on Wednesday.
• Fourth of July – No Service on July 4th. One day delay. Thursday collection day will be serviced on Friday.
• Labor Day – No Service on the first Monday of September. One day delay. Monday collection day will be serviced on Tuesday.
• Thanksgiving Day – No Service on the last Thursday of November. One day delay. Thursday collection day will be serviced on Friday.
• Christmas Day – No Service on December 25th. One day delay. Example; Wednesday collection day will be serviced on Thursday.
• Halloween Day – We will be providing service on October 31st. If the route is delayed and cannot be finished before dusk we will finish the route the next business day.
• National Garbage Man Day – We will be providing service on June 17th as scheduled. Please remember to throw up your hand with a simple smile and say “Thank You”.

Due to the one day postponement, the collection of containers is resumed as follows: If the holiday is on a Monday, then the Monday collection will occur on Tuesday, Tuesday collection will occur on Wednesday, and so on. If the holiday is on a Thursday, then the Thursday collection will occur on Friday and Friday collection will occur on Saturday for that week only. On all other holidays, normal collection of containers will occur. If a holiday falls on the weekend, then pickups will run on a normal schedule unless otherwise specified.

Recycle Your Pumpkin This Halloween

Ever wonder what to do with that jack-o’-lantern after Halloween? Before it turns into a mushy mess on your front porch be sure to properly throw it away or place it in your compost bin. To properly dispose of pumpkins, first remove any non-organic materials such as candles, glow sticks and non-biodegradable decorations before placing them in a waste can or compost bin.

Composting pumpkins on your own?

After Halloween let your pumpkin enrich your soil! If you don’t have a compost pile, just bury the pumpkin in an empty garden space. It will quickly decompose and add organic matter and nutrients to your soil.

Tips & Tricks for an Environmentally Friendly Halloween

• Hold a costume-exchange party: Halloween costumes are often worn only once. By holding a costume-exchange party with friends, last year’s outfit can get another wear and you can get something new – without any waste.
• Create your own spooky decorations: Save money by making your own decorations from repurposed materials. Creating your own hair-raising decorations will put less stress on your wallet, the planet and allow you to showcase your originality for trick-or-treaters to admire.
• Trick or treat with recyclable bags: Canvas, cloth or other reusable bags are an earth-friendly and more affordable alternative to plastic jack-o’-lantern buckets. Or, decorate recyclable bags or old pillowcases with spooky scenes to create a custom carryall to take home the goodies.
• Leave only footprints after trick-or-treating: Dispose of candy wrappers, a big source of litter on the streets during Halloween, and carry an extra bag for litter.
