General Procedures & Requirements

Waste Connections is the current residential waste hauler for the City under a five-year license agreement which began on August 1, 2019. 

Please be advised of the following waste collection procedures and requirements:

• Because the start time for Waste Connections may vary from week to week, we recommend that you have all trash, recycle or yard waste at the curb or street frontage on your scheduled collection day no later than 6:30 AM so you won’t be skipped.
• If your trash, recycle or yard waste is not at the curb or street frontage on your scheduled collection day when the truck arrives, Waste Connections will not return that week. (Be advised that truck drivers take time-stamped photos when trash, recycle or yard waste is not at the curb.)
• Trash: 
  • It is preferred that all trash items are placed in a trash bag and a trash container, with a weight not to exceed 50 pounds. (If you have bulky items, please contact Waste Connections directly to notify them of the items that will be placed at the curb so that they will have the proper manpower to lift items into trucks as needed.) Construction debris will not be accepted.
• Recycling:
  • Please place all recycle items in the designated 22-gallon bin, 65-gallon toter, or 95-gallon toter.
  • Large cardboard boxes must be broken down into manageable sizes for the driver to handle.  
• Yard Waste: 
  • Please place all yard waste items in compostable yard waste bags or trash cans utilized for yard waste. All tree limbs must be bundled in 4-foot long sections with a 6-inch diameter and placed at the curb on the designated pick-up day. No tree roots or dirt will be accepted.
• Trash and Recycling Container Storage and Placement:
  • Trash and recycling containers shall be stored in a place not visible from the street which the residential structure faces.  Trash and recycling containers  shall be placed at the curb or street frontage not more than twelve (12) hours prior to the regularly scheduled collection day. Trash and recycling containers shall be returned to their appropriate storage places no later than 12:00 Midnight on the day of collection.
• Appliances: 
  • For appliance pickup, please contact Waste Connections directly for removal of these items (prices indicated in the following table).

Items Not Accepted

Items that will not be collected include:

• Solid waste and yard waste co-mingled
• Tree roots, dirt / soil, and/or rocks or bricks
• Construction debris
• 55-gallon drums
• Hazardous materials, including but not limited to batteries, and any flammable or combustible liquids or gases.

Missed Service Policy

Waste Connections will address any missed pickups, due to their fault, the following day. Thus, if you believe your service was missed or skipped on your regular scheduled service day, at no fault of your own, please have the applicable materials (trash, yard waste or recycling) at the curb for pickup the following day. For missed pickups that occur on Friday, Waste Connections will pickup on Saturday.

Holiday Collection Schedule

Waste Connections Wildwood Winter Weather Policy

If streets are considered impassable and unsafe due to a winter storm, Waste Connections will cancel service for the day.   When a cancellation occurs, service will resume the following morning, assuming street conditions have improved.  As always, we recommend that you have your container at the street by 6:30 AM for service.  

Because winter weather is unpredictable, we recommend that you download the “Waste Connect” app, for your Apple or Android device, to be informed of winter weather cancellations. . 

For private streets, your street must be plowed and considered passible by the driver in order for Waste Connections to service your containers.  If the driver considers a private street to be impassable, due lack of snow removal, it will be skipped for that week, with service resuming the following week.
