If you’re trying to decide which company to choose for your garbage service, consider these 5 tips to help get you on the right path. 

How to Choose the Right Garbage Service

Determine the Services Offered

Once you determine what type of service you need…garbage disposal, recycling, or bulk pickup, you can see if the company you are considering can meet your needs. Many companies, such as Sweitzer Waste Removal, offer all of these services. Finding a company that can do it all is convenient because you don’t have to worry about different companies for different services. 

Look at the Service Areas

You always have to look at the service areas that a particular company covers. Not all companies service the same areas. You want to be sure that the company you choose is in the service area.

Sweitzer Waste Removal proudly serves the following areas for residential garbage service:

• Branford
• Guilford
• Madison
• Clinton
• Killingworth
• Westbrook 
• Old Saybrook
• Deep River
• Essex
• Chester

Consider Fees

Cost is a big determinant when it comes to garbage service. Ask about the weight allowance per container, any environmental waste fees, and how frequently your trash will be picked up. If you are looking for recycling or bulk pickup, ask what the extra cost is for these services. Your best bet is to detail all of the services you need and ask for a quote that encompasses all your needs. This way, you will know upfront how much your residential garbage service will cost.

Look at the Type of Garbage You Have

Some people look to dispose of hazardous waste along with their everyday trash. Many garbage service companies do not accept this type of waste or will accept it with an additional charge. Typically, people won’t have hazardous waste to dispose of, but it is always important to ask ahead of time so you can be prepared.

Ask About the Recycling Policy

Garbage service companies will have a recycling policy. Ask what the policy is so that you can see if it fits your needs. Policies can differ when it comes to containers, schedules, and more. 

At Sweitzer Waste Removal, you can expect:

• 96-gallon wheeled recycling can for curbside residential customers, depending on whether the automated arm truck can safely access your road
• Curbside pick-up every other week
• Single stream recycling
