Our team of experienced collectors and customer service representatives are dedicated to serving your residential sanitation needs. To learn a little bit more about our residential service please read below.
Service
Your Absolute Waste Removal drivers are committed to serving you. They will always go the "extra mile" to "take your trash." In all cases, when service is not performed to your satisfaction, contact us. The service guarantee insures your satisfaction! In some cases, drivers may not be able to completely service your needs. Some possibly reasons include:
- Trash stuck in cart: Over compaction in the cart may indicate the need for a larger container.
- Excess liquid can freeze material in the cart: Drain material before placing in cart or use plastic bags.
- It did not look like trash: Often kid's bikes and other material is left near the cart. If this material is not marked "Take Me," we will leave it until confirmation of disposal can be obtained.
Snow
Safety is our number one priority. During blizzard and heavy wind conditions, we may be forced to suspend collections for the day. In that case, all customers will receive service one day later the rest of the week (just like a holiday week.) This policy, although seldom used, protects our drivers and the community from potentially harmful accidents and injuries.
Yard Waste
The State of Iowa has banned yard waste from being dumped in the landfills. This material must be collected separately from other solid waste. Yard waste consists of: leaves, grass, clippings, tree branches, brush and stumps.
Remember, once again, you absolutely cannot mix your regular garbage with any yard waste materials. If it has been mixed, we cannot pick any of it up until it has been separated. If you have any questions, please contact our office.
Extra Large Items
Please contact Absolute Waste prior to your regular pick-up day iff you have large or bulky items.
Absolute Waste will take most items if they are placed curbside and prepared for collection: Loose extras should be bagged, boxed, or bundled. Large items should be broken or cut down to be handled by one person.
