Frequently asked questions
What are your service hours?
Handyman services: 7 days a week, 10am–7pm, by appointment only. Curbside services: Monday to Friday, 10am–7pm. Office: Monday to Friday, 9:30am–5:30pm.
How and when will my trash cans be taken to the curb?
Every community has its own pickup days, and some limit when cans can go out and come back. We take your cans to the curb the day before your regular pickup, in the morning or late afternoon, and bring them back on pickup day once the truck has been.
Why would I need this service?
It’s for anyone who is too busy to take their cans out and back, or who isn’t home the day before or after collection. We also clean cans and bins, and offer handyman services.
What does my curbside subscription cover?
The services you choose. There are several plan options, so you can pick the curbside service that fits your needs.
What types of communities do you serve?
HOAs, senior communities and single-family homes, as well as businesses.
How long is my subscription?
Month to month, billed on a recurring basis, with no contracts. We ask for two weeks’ notice before you cancel, so we can adjust your billing and take you off our route.
