MAY I
PAY BY CREDIT CARD?
Sanico offers credit card payments limited to VISA. Please
download the Credit Card
payment authorization form (requires Adobe
Reader). For best security, FAX it to us. Emailing a
scanned copy is not recommended since email is public.
HOW
DO I GET A CART LIKE THE ONES I'VE SEEN IN SOME AREAS? We
are gradually changing all our residential collection service to Cart Service.
DO YOU
TAKE CHRISTMAS TREES? Christmas
trees must be cut into sections no longer than 4 feet. Put your
cut up tree out with your regular trash.
WHY
WASN'T MY CHRISTMAS TREE TAKEN THIS WEEK? Sometimes,
because of the volume of trees and trash after the holidays, there is
not enough room in the truck for everyone's tree. It will
be picked up during the following weeks as the volume of trash
decreases.
WHEN
WILL MY GARBAGE BE PICKED UP? Garbage
collections are made once per week beginning at 5AM. Pick-up time
may vary week to week. Place your trash within 5 feet of
the road the evening before your collection day. During periods
of inclement weather, collection may be delayed. If you are
unable to get to work, most likely our collection crews can't
either.
WHY
WASN'T MY GARBAGE PICKED UP? In many cases our
crews have been advised not to pick up due to late payment.
Please check your bill. Other reasons include:
+the
most frequent reason is that the trash was not out when the driver went
through
+the can was too heavy to be picked up
+driver was threatened by a dog
+denied access to road by road repair or utility crews
+garbage container was not accessible within 5 feet of road surface

our information page regarding Bears.
WHEN
WILL MY RECYCLABLES BE PICKED UP?
Recyclables are collected every other week for most of our
customers. Please see our Recycling
Schedules.
HOW
DO I PREPARE MY RECYCLING? See
our recycling Rules of
Thumb.
WHY
DIDN'T THE RECYCLING CREW PICK UP MY BOTTLES AND CANS? Bottles and cans
must be in a 20 gallon garbage can displaying a special recycling decal
supplied by Sanico. The recycling material must be placed away
from the garbage so the recycling driver can identify the
recycling. Any recycling materials put in a bag will be
considered garbage and will not be collected. Please see our
recycling Rules
of Thumb.
I HAVE
BEEN COLLECTING MAGAZINES FOR YEARS. IS THERE A SPECIAL WAY TO
RECYCLE THEM? Please tie the
magazines up with twine in both directions. Place them at the
curb for your scheduled recycling pickup over the course of
several weeks. Please don't put out several year's worth of
magazines out for one pickup.
WHAT
HAPPENS TO MY RECYCLED JUNK MAIL AND MAGAZINES?
Sanico delivers most junk mail and magazines to international
markets where new
consumer paper products are made.
I
PUT MY NEWSPAPERS IN BAGS. WHY DIDN'T THEY GET PICKED UP? The
facility that accepts newspapers from our curbside collections de-inks
the paper so it can be used again as newspaper. Plastic or paper
bags contaminate the process. Papers must be tied with
twine so they don't blow during transportation. Please see our
recycling Rules of
Thumb.
WHY
DIDN'T THE RECYCLING CREW TAKE ALL MY BOTTLES AND CANS?
Some items are marked with recycling symbols, but there is no market
that will recycle them. These items may be put in the
garbage.
Also,
the recycling markets will not accept bottles and cans contaminated
with product such as oil, ketchup, shampoo or detergent. Please
rinse clean. For more information, see our Rules of
Thumb.
