Our garbage has been skipped the last two weeks apparently it was a payment issue. Ok, but when you pay your bill and they tell you it's all set and still don't pick up your garbage. Am I missing something here? I called clearly upset 😡, this is WEEK 2. Left a message to get a call back. NO CALL! Going to be looking for different service.

I live on the old mission peninsula and usually take my trash to the dump location on Devils Dive on the old mission. Can I take an old treadmil and a refrigerator to this location as well?

Soren Schuler | May 8, 2022

The treadmill you may. The refrigerator would have to have the refrigerant removed by a professional and stickered by the professional that all the refrigerant has been properly removed.

Is there a weight limit for trash? My bin is really heavy this week. Are bins picked up mechanically by the truck or by workers physically?

Rene Vandeven | Oct 5, 2020
American Waste | Oct 5, 2020

Rene, The majority of our trucks have mechanical arms which have a 250LB weight limit on them, however some of the routes we have are serviced by trucks that require the driver to lift the tote up onto the tote dumper. I have checked your account and it looks like you are serviced by one of the trucks with a mechanical arm, I have noted your address to alert the driver to a "heavy can" it will be fine.

Does this location provide cell phone disposal or recycling?

Ryan Didur | Oct 5, 2020
American Waste | Oct 5, 2020

We do not provide recycling services for cell phones, I would recommend visiting this site: https://www.grandtraverse.org/983/Take-It-Back-Recycling-Directory#!rc-cpage=163362 or If you wish to dispose of your cell phone, I would remove the SIM card and destroy or crush the actual phone before putting it in your trash. I hope this answers your question? If you need further assistance, please visit our website, where you can live chat with one of our customer services representative. Thank you for reaching out.

Where can I recycle used motor oil?

Julia Wagner | Oct 6, 2018
Jason Rosam | Oct 6, 2019

Almost all auto parts stores (Advance Auto, Auto Zone, etc...) take up to 5 gallons a day. Easy peasy, just take it in, put your name and how much you have on a list, and they'll take it from you. If you have more than 5 gallons just break it up into 5 gallon buckets, and take them on different days. Hope that helps!
