Non-subscription Yard Waste Collection: (currently we charge $3 per bag for yard waste)
If you do not subscribe to the weekly collection of yard waste, and you want Maroney’s to pick up your paper yard waste bags, you should call or email at least 1 day prior to your collection day. This will ensure collection on your pickup day. If you do not give advance notice, you may be asked to wait until your next scheduled pickup day.
Maroney’s uses on-board computers to assist drivers on collection routes. These tablet computers display all stops a driver must collect each day. Stops appear as pins on a map for the driver. If you are not subscribed to the weekly yard waste collection, your address does not show up for the yard waste collection truck. We do our best to collect yard waste even if you have not called/emailed in advance. Your trash driver will attempt to schedule the yard waste collection if he sees paper bags out when he arrives to collect your trash. Many times, this system works. If the garbage truck driver can notify the yard waste truck before they leave the area. The yard waste truck covers many routes in a single day. They cannot drive down every street searching for unscheduled stops. This would be far too costly.
We are currently discussing a change in policy. This would require advanced notice from customers who occasionally put bags out. We realize this may not be what customers are used to. However, advanced notice allows us to collect yard waste in the most efficient manner.
If you want to ensure your yard waste bags are collected, please email or call us at least 1 day prior to your normal pickup day.
Thank you,
Maroney’s
