As garbage collection experts in Pitt and Lenoir County, we see a lot of trash every single day. That means we also see a lot of good and bad approaches to putting out the trash.
According to a report by the University of Utah,

“Americans throw away enough garbage everyday to fill 63,000 garbage trucks, which if lined up end to end for an entire year would stretch half way to the moon.”

Essentially this means that you need to be smart about how you throw things away, especially if you’re using Countryside Sanitation. When it comes to dealing with trash, it’s easy to be overwhelmed. If you haven’t been dealing with trash, you might not know exactly how it should be done. With that in mind, here are some tips to make trash easier for you and the associates handling it.

1. Always Use Trash Bags

It is so incredibly helpful to associates at Countryside Sanitation when trash is bagged. It keeps everything contained and makes sure all that is contained makes it to the right place. It not only keeps your trashcan clean and nice smelling but helps the maintenance of our trucks.

2. Keep Large Debris Out

Large debris like construction materials, tires, and yard debris needs to be taken care of differently. For tips on getting rid of this large debris, check out this guide provided by the Pitt County Transfer Station.

3. Separate the Oils

While we can deal with cooking and motor oils, they need to be disposed of in different ways. To help with that, set containers beside your can and we can dispose of it accordingly.
