Do not put any trash outside the cart without calling Pellitteri Waste Systems first (608) 257-4285. Depending on the amount and type of material we will ask for prepayment and will give you special instructions. If it is a small amount you may be able to wait until the next week to fit it in the cart.

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

The standard size carts are the 95-gallon trash (dark brown) cart and 65-gallon recycling (blue) cart. There are no downgrades or upgrades at this time.

The carts should be at the street by 6:00am on Wednesday. After your cart is emptied, please remove it from the street that day.

Carts should be as the end of your driveway. The cart should be placed on level ground, and should be at least four feet from any obstacle such as utility poles, mail boxes, trees, and parked cars. The handles of the carts should face your house so that the lid opens properly when being dumped.

Only household trash can be put in your cart. Do not place recyclables, construction materials, demolition, 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 or click here for more information. 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.
