If it is a small amount of extra trash you may want to consider waiting until the following week to have it picked up in your cart. If you have an occasional extra bag of trash, please call us for pricing.

Additional carts are available for an annual fee. Please contact us for pricing and scheduling.

The standard cart size is a 95-gallon trash cart (brown) and a 65-gallon recycling cart (blue). Please contact your homeowner's association or Pellitteri Waste Systems at (608) 257-4285 to discuss other options.

The normally scheduled service is Monday effective January 2012. Please refer to the calendar for your specific service day. Trash is collected every week and recyclables are collected every other week. Recycling carts put out on a non-recycling collection week will not be picked up. Residents must have their carts put out by 7:00 am. Pickup times may vary from week to week. Trash and recycling are picked up at separate times during the day.

Carts should be placed at the end of your driveway and be within two feet of the street. The carts should be placed on level ground and should be at least four feet from any obstacle such as utility poles, mailboxes, trees and parked cars. The handles of the carts should face your house so that the lids open properly when being dumped.

Only household trash can be put in your trash cart. Do not place any recyclables, brush/leaves, construction materials, demolition, electronics or hazardous materials in your cart.

Brush and yard waste cannot be placed in your trash or recycling carts. Brush and yard waste are both banned from landfills in Wisconsin. Please check with your local municipality to see how you are supposed to handle your brush or yard waste. Many municipalities have drop-off sites and some may provide curbside pickup. Brush is generally defined as branches or limbs while yard waste includes grass clippings, leaves, weeds, vines, vegetable/plant matter, hay/straw, and twigs less than half an inch in diameter (roughly as thick as your thumb) and less than 12 inches long. The only exception is “invasive plant species” (or “noxious weeds”), which must go to the landfill. Pellitteri customers must place invasive plant species in black trash bags in your trash container with a note on the bag that says it contains invasive plant species so drivers don’t think it’s yard waste. Common invasive plant species include garlic mustard, honeysuckle, purple loosestrife, buckthorn and more.

The automated collection program is not intended to provide this type of service. You have several options. Please call us at (608) 257-4285 for a phone quotation for one of our temporary dumpsters. It is best to arrange for this type of dumpster service prior to beginning the work. Also, check to see if we are running any special pricing or coupons in your area.

There is a charge per item for curbside pick-up of bulky items such as stoves, refrigerators (with doors removed), hot-water tanks, furniture and other large household items. Select the Bulky Items button above to review your pricing and contact us for scheduling. We are happy to provide you with instructions for disposal, as well as alternative disposal options if available.  

No. The carts are not to be taken. The carts are property of the contractor and need to stay at the house.

Please call us at 608-257-4285. The carts are the property of the contractor and we will take care of any normal wear and tear, or damage by our trucks. There is a fee to the resident if the cart is damaged or stolen while in their custody, and not caused by the contractor.

The automated cart dumping process lifts the container upside down and stops with a slight jolt. If the material is wedged tightly the material may not come out. Please put the heavier items in the bottom of the cart and do not compact the material.
