Grayson Lakes Trash & Recycling

Trash collection days will be Monday and Thursday. Hours of service will be between 7:00 am and 6:00 pm on each pick up day.

Household Garbage: You have garage door area pick up for household garbage. Household garbage is defined as waste generated inside the house, exclusive of any construction or remodeling debris or any other waste defined below. Garbage containers must be located at the end of the driveway in plain site from the street. Service behind gates is not available. The maximum size container is 40 gallons.

Tree & Yard Waste: Must be located at the curb area of each residence. Trees, shrubs, brush trimmings and fencing must be bundled in lengths no greater than 4 feet with no branch diameter exceeding 3 inches. The bundling is required to allow quick pickup, and size limitations are required to avoid damaging the equipment in the crushing process. All residential waste materials must be either in containers not exceeding 40 gallons, bags or bundles not exceeding 40 pounds. All permanent trash containers, after being emptied by Best Trash, will be returned to their point of origin in the same condition in which they were taken, normal wear and tear excepted.

Bulky Items: Must be located at the curb area of each residence. Items such as appliances, furniture, carpet (up to 1 room, rolled up four feet wide and less than fifty pounds), cardboard boxes (flattened), will be picked up either day. By Federal Law, refrigerators and freezers or any other items containing Freon must be drained of Freon and have an accompanying bill to validate such service was performed.

Excluded Items: Items excluded from normal collection are dirt, rocks, bricks, concrete, tires, batteries, motor oil, cooking oil, waste generated by a private contractor or any materials or items deemed hazardous materials. Best Trash will leave a tag explaining the reason for non-collected item(s).

Spillage: Best Trash will clean up any spillage that occurs during the collection or recycling process; provided, however, that if gasoline, motor oil, paints, cooking oil, or any other liquid items in a container that is not visible to Best Trash personnel results in spillage that causes a stain, Best Trash cannot be responsible.
