Help Keep Your Recycling Clean

Are you replacing an old sofa, water heater or refrigerator and don’t know what to do with it? We’ll take care of it. Residents can request up to two curbside collections of large or bulky items during a 12 month period. Limit of five items per collection. This program also includes electronic waste. This program is FREE to curbside service customers and designed for your convenience. Please call our Customer Service Department one week prior to your scheduled collection day to arrange pick-up.

Bulky Item Pick-Up

Service Interruptions due toinclement weather or road closures

Burrtec makes every effort to collect your trash and recyclables on your scheduled day. However, on some days we can expect roads to be impassible due to inclement weather conditions or road closures. During these days, if Burrtec has your email on file, an email will be distributed regarding collection delays. Also, updates will be made available via the Burrtec Facebook page. If you have additional questions about your collection day services, please contact our Customer Service Department and they will be happy to assist you.

As of 2018, China, the largest market for the world’s recycling materials, enforced the new “National Sword” policy. This policy banned numerous materials including several types of plastics, unsorted mixed paper and set strict standards for contamination levels. This policy has impacted recycling operations across the U.S. such that stakeholders are now faced with the challenges of stockpiled recyclables with little to no value in commodities markets, improving and lowering the levels of contamination from recyclables, and learning that certain materials may no longer be recyclable. We need your support. In order to continue pursuing alternative markets and help contain costs, please help lower the levels of contamination by only placing acceptable materials in your recycling container.

Sorted recycle bales are shipped to recycling manufacturing companies and made into new products. At the sorting line at the Material Recovery Facility (MRF), workers must remove any contaminants— this is an essential but also time-consuming step that can slow down the process. If any contaminants are missed in the sorting process, the finished recycle bales could be rejected by recycling manufacturers and, therefore, not acceptable to be recycled. Keeping your containers free of trash and non-recyclable contaminants will help reduce recycling costs. Spread the message, “Help keep your recycling clean!”
