RESIDENTS OF NORTHWEST HARRIS COUNTY MUD NO. 28

EFFECTIVE NOVEMBER 1

BEST TRASH is your new trash collection provider

CART DELIVERY WILL BEGIN LAST WEEK OF OCTOBER

**LEAVE EXISTING CARTS EMPTY AT THE CURB TO BE COLLECTED**

PLEASE HAVE TRASH OUT BY 7:00AM

TRASH: On each regularly scheduled collection day, Best Trash will collect residential refuse located at the curbside in the existing roll-out carts.  Please place the carts per the diagram below.  Residents are restricted to one cart for refuse and are encouraged to confine refuse to the cart.

EXCLUDED ITEMS: dirt, rocks, bricks, tile, concrete, tires, batteries, motor oil, cooking oil, waste generated by a private contractor or any materials or items deemed hazardous materials.   Please do not dispose of gasoline, motor oil, paints, cooking oil, or any other liquid items in a container that are not visible to Best Trash personnel.  If such items result in spillage that causes a stain, Best Trash is not responsible for the cleanup.  Best Trash will leave a tag explaining the reason for any non-collected item(s).

HEAVY TRASH: Trees, shrubs, brush trimmings and fencing must be no larger than 4 inches in diameter, no more than 4 feet long, tied in bundles not exceeding 40 pounds. The tied bundles are required to allow quick pick-up and size limitations are required to avoid damaging the equipment in the compacting process.  Items such as appliances, furniture, mattresses, carpet (up to 1 room of carpet, cut less than 4 feet wide, tied in bundles not exceeding 40 pounds), will be picked up on both garbage collection days.  By Federal Law, refrigerators, freezers, and any other items containing Freon must be drained of Freon and have an accompanying bill to validate such service was performed.

CART CARE: Best Trash will replace any carts that are defective or otherwise become unusable due to normal wear and tear.  Lost or stolen carts can be replaced for $65.00 each by calling Best Trash.

HOLIDAY SCHEDULE: If your regular trash collection day falls on a holiday (New Years Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day or Christmas Day) the collection will be made on the next regularly scheduled collection day.

We are transitioning from our contract with Republic Services to our new contract with Best Trash. Here are a few things to note:

Distribution of Best Trash collection bins has begun.

You may have seen our diligent new crews assembling and delivering carts throughout the neighborhood today. Distribution is set to be completed on or before Friday, October 30.

Guidelines for collection with Best Trash will be posted to this website.

These guidelines are also listed on the Best Trash website and do not differ much from those we were previously using with Republic.

The final collection day for Republic is tomorrow, October 29.

All uncollected Republic Services bins should be placed out on the curb by 7:00 a.m. Thursday, October 29.

All Republic blue or brown collection containers, both for garbage and for recycling, are the property of Republic Services, Inc. Customers will be direct-billed for any blue or brown Republic collection containers/bins (garbage and/or recycling) that are not placed out at the curb for retrieval by 7:00 a.m. on Thursday, October 29, 2020.

On Thursday, October 29, only the Republic Services container (blue or brown bins) will be emptied.

Best Trash bins (black & red) placed on the curb on Thursday, October 29 will not be emptied. Please refrain from putting them out for collection until their first contracted collection date: Monday, November 2, 2020.
