Trash Pickup Guidelines

Note: the below guidelines apply to only the new black Simpsonville trash cans.

• Trash can must be on the curb by 7 a.m. on your pickup day to be serviced.
• Front of trash can must face the roadside to be serviced.
• All trash must be bagged in a trash bag to ensure that all trash is deposited into the truck and does not end up outside the truck to prevent littering.
• All trash bags must be inside the trash can to be picked up; trash bags are prohibited from being left anywhere outside the can, on the can and on the lid of the can except the week following Christmas Day only.
• Any trash bags or trash that are not inside the trash can will not be picked up; cardboard boxes left outside trash cans will not be picked up.
• Only the new black Simpsonville trash can* automatically delivered at no cost the week of Aug. 23 will be serviced; Public Works will not service any can other than the new black Simpsonville can.
• Do not park motor vehicles in front of the trash can.
• At least 3 feet of clearance from other objects (e.g. vehicles, mailboxes) must be maintained around the trash can to ensure pickup.

Prohibited Items in Trash Can

• Paints, solvents
• Tires
• Propane tanks
• Electronics
• Liquids
• Medical waste
• Batteries
• Dirt, rocks, bricks and concrete
• Yard waste
• Sand

Proper Use of Trash Can

• All garbage must be bagged in the trash can; bagging all garbage ensures that all trash remains inside the garbage truck and off your roads and streets.
• All garbage bags must be placed inside the trash can (except the week after Christmas Day only); routes are more efficiently run when the can contains all trash to be picked up.
• Only black Simpsonville trash cans will be serviced; 1-can collection allows for on-schedule trash pickup.
