Dear Town of Bluffton Resident,
The response to Bluffton's new recycling program with the 96-gallon
recycling cart has been
amazing. We're excited to see more residents participating and
recycling right! To ensure
timely service, we have modified our collection routes to to
accommodate more residents
recycling. Your trash collection will continue to be weekly on the
same day it currently is.
Please see the REVISED Recycling Collection Schedule by
Neighborhood on the back panel to
determine your new recycling collection day and whether your
recycling will be picked up on a
Green or Gold week. These changes will go into effect the week
beginning Monday, September
14, 2020.
Thank you for your patience as we work hard to help Bluffton stay
clean and green.
Waste Management Team
Waste Management is now using CNG Trucks in Bluffton which run on
compressed natural gas and are quieter and produce less greenhouse
gas emissions than diesel.
Automated Waste Collection
Waste Management will be moving to all automated collection trucks
for waste and recycling. These
trucks use technology to create a safer and more efficient
collection system for residents and drivers.
Beginning July 6, all waste and recyclables must be placed in the
waste or recycling cart provided by
Waste Management and taken to the street for pickup. No additional
waste or recycling bags can be
placed outside the cart. To ensure that the automatic arms can lift
the carts, please make sure your
carts are at least 3 feet apart and away from other objects liked
parked cars, mailboxes and trees.
New Recycling Cart Delivery
A green 96-gallon recycling cart with a yellow lid will be
delivered to each service account prior to
July 6, 2020. The cart will be delivered to the street-side of your
home. If you need an additional
waste or recycling cart, please contact Waste Management (888)
964-9730 or by email at
[email protected] to request an additional cart which will be
billed directly to you.
What should you do with your current 18-gallon recycling bin?
Waste Management encourages you to keep and reuse your current
18-gallon recycling bin.
Use it in the kitchen or office to collect recyclables and then
transport them to your new
96-gallon recycling cart for collection.
Waste and Recycling Collection Guidelines
Residential waste collection has not changed – it will still occur
weekly on the same service day
you have now. Beginning July 6, recycling collection will be every
other week instead of weekly.
Your recycling collection day may have changed, so please review
the Collection Schedule and
Calendar on the back of this brochure to learn your recycling day
and whether your recycling will
be collected on a Green or Gold week.
• Please place the trash and recycling cart at the street in front
of your home the evening before
your service day or at the curb by 7 a.m. on your service
day.
• The automatic arms lift and empty the cart. No extra cans or bags
may be placed outside carts
for collection. Any materials left outside your trash or recycling
cart will be tagged and left at
the curb.
• Always keep the cart lid closed to keep animals and moisture
out.
Important Cart Placement Information
Place your cart at least 3 feet away from all objects including
your second cart, mailbox, car,
or tree. The lid opening should face the street with the wheels of
the cart facing your house.
Remove Your Cart After Collection
In order to help maintain the appearance of your neighborhood,
please remove your cart
promptly after it’s been serviced. Be careful not to store your
cart close to a furnace, fireplace,
grill or other source of excessive heat.
Caring for Your Carts
The carts are designed for ease of maintenance. To clean, simply
rinse with water from time to
time and let it dry in sunlight with the lid open. Do not place
paints, solvents, acids, gasoline, oil,
hot ashes, exposed needles, sand, soil, rocks or concrete in your
cart.
