Services
Residential Trash Collection
Our residential trash collection service provides weekly or customized pickup schedules using durable 95-gallon carts. We offer curbside pickup within 2 feet of street edges and special walk-in service for handicapped residents. Our twice-weekly commercial options and flexible plans ensure customers only pay for services they need.
Single-Stream Recycling
As Kansas's largest recycler, we process 2000+ tons monthly through our advanced facility that uniquely accepts glass materials. Our single-stream system simplifies recycling with color-coded carts accepting plastics, metals, paper, and cardboard. Glass materials get transformed into sand-like granules for industrial reuse, diverting waste from landfills.
Commercial Waste Removal
Our commercial waste solutions range from 2-yard to 8-yard front load containers and compactors tailored to business needs. We offer flexible schedules from monthly to daily pickups based on business type, employee count, and waste volume. Custom recycling programs help businesses reduce disposal costs while meeting sustainability goals.
Construction Waste Disposal
We provide 15-40 cubic yard roll-off containers for construction sites with specialized LEED-certified recycling options. Our Recycle360 system tracks materials like wood, metal, and concrete to maximize diversion rates. Experienced crews handle project-specific waste needs while supporting green building certification requirements.
LEED Recycling Programs
Our LEED-certified services include dedicated recycling containers and the Recycle360 tracking platform for construction projects. This digital tool documents waste management plans and diversion rates to meet USGBC standards. Our experts help builders achieve green certification while optimizing recycling efficiency for maximum environmental impact.
