Trash

Bulk or Yard Waste – Due to Winter Storm Event

Dear Residents of Remington MUD 1 (Stone Gate),

Since the freeze, we are averaging 2,000 more tons per week, and this is only out of our Highway 6 location, which services your community.  This averages out to an extra load per residential route per day.

This has caused a few obstacles for WCA/GFL:

  1. Our crews are not able to work as quickly as they normally do.
  2. This causes longer than normal wait times at the landfill and recycling centers.

We understand that everyone is trying to clean up their yards from the freeze, and now Spring is here!  As a temporary measure, please limit the bags that you place out for the next few weeks.  This would be very helpful and appreciated.  A good limit at this time, would be one (1) cubic foot, which is equivalent to three (3) sixty (60) gallon bags.

We understand the frustration and want to get everything serviced as much as you do.  Keep in mind this is an industry problem, not just for WCA/GFL.

As a reminder the following are not acceptable items for bulk or heavy trash.

  • Construction Debris
  • Sheetrock
  • Drywall
  • Insulation
  • Metal items (includes recliners or sofa sleepers)
  • Wood (includes wood Fencing)
  • Stone or Tile
  • Dirt
  • Concrete
  • Propane tanks Tires

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact customer service.

WCA: Winter Storm Conditions

Attention Residents,

As always, the safety of our residents, crews and equipment are our priority, and we look forward to providing your service. With services being suspended Monday-Wednesday, we are anticipating higher-than-normal volumes being placed out at the curb and expecting some delays.

In addition, the forecast is still forecasting cold, rainy conditions, but roads appear to be passable. We continue to monitor all conditions and may have later than normal rollouts of our crews Thursday, morning.

Our office and facilities remain closed due to the loss of power; Therefore, office staff, including customer service, will not be available.

GFL appreciates your patience as we work through this together and are committed to the safest collection, transportation, and disposal of your solid waste and processing of your recyclables.

Sincerely,
