Everyone one that has joined in the effort we Thank You!!!! What may to some seem, as worthless or baby steps-- those steps in numbers have saved thousands and thousands of cubic yards landfilled space -thousands and thousands of trees being chopped down along with significiant amounts of water, oil, and electricity being wasted-- each of you have helped to make a HUGE difference at so many levels-- Over those 25 years-- the simple act of tossing your materials either a recycling bin or a trash can has evolued dramatically -- what took some effort to clean-sort and seperate so long ago-- is now so user friendly and a simple way of life-- If you recycle please feel proud of your efforts. For those that haven't taken those steps yet-- it can't get much easier-- two containers side by side creates a split second decision of where to drop your waste-a decision that will impact our environment for decades.

How do I get My Extra trash, junk, furniture,yard waste etc. removed?

At Dodd's we consider that an extra--Extras are pre-arranged- typically completed after NON Sunday through Thursday. Dodd's will not accept more than 3 pick up loads per trip- more than 3 means more trips as pre arranged in advance or a roll off which the customers reserves and loads. Cost is determined by weight--To avoid City citations--pre-arrange the removal and the amount placed on the curb to avoid any nuisance violation. Large amounts of brush- requires tree service.NO removal of this type is collection with your normal trash on your trash day-- all extra removals pricing depends on weight.All materials must be placed where a large truck can access easily-- where there are not wire or tree limbs that will obstruct on the top of the truck-- If on a cement driveway the driveway must be worthy of a heavy truck-- Dodd's will not be responsible for any and all driveways.

Dumspter Versus Roll Off Containers 

Dumpster are typically seen behind churches, apartments and business. Dodd's also provide dumpster for pre arranged customers, for those that a roll off is more than what they need see below for standard sizes and dimensions --Which are not alwyas available and size and and lids may vary.These containers must be placed on a flat service-- when delivered there may be no wires or tree limbs that would obstruct on the top of a large truck, if placed on cement the cement must be worth of a heavy truck, Dodd's will not be responsible for any damage due to customers placement.

ROLL OFF

Typically used for roofing, remodeling - commonly seen on Construction Sites.They very in size- typically 22 to 24 foot long-- 8 foot wide-- taller the sides the more cubic yards the container will hold (see below) -- Dodd's roll off pricing is the same no matter what size is delivered-- first available will be delivered unless a specific size is required. Different styles available upon request. Scheduling in advance is highly recommended.

NON RECYCLABLE-- PLEASE DO NOT PLACE THESE MATERIALS IN YOUR RECYCLING CONTAINERS 

• Examples of Non Recyclable Plastic Hanger, Toys, Plastic wrap and bags, plastic that does not have a twist off lid, food and dog food bags, styrofoam, drinking cups, straws etc
• Examples of Non Recyclable Corrugated Cardboard ​Cores, Tubes, Plastic covered or lined, boxes that include styrofoam, Non flattened cardboard typically will hid non recyclable materials- left until flattened.
• FYI for recycling collection --. Due to hidden unrecyclable items that are attached to christmas wrap and inside boxes-- corrugated or paper board-- we will NOT accept any christmas paper and only FLATTENED boxes-- a whole box 95% of the time hides something we can't take -- workers opening every box to inspect with gloves is not effective-- so not allowing whole boxes is our only solution-- Reminders NO plastic bags are accepted- except bags with shredded paper-- any bags containing materials other than shredded paper in the recycling bin will be left.
