It is very hard to judge how long each individual pickup will take as the quantity in each recycling pickup varies a great deal. We also never know when a tuck will have to go back to headquarters to unload if full during recycling pickups.

For this reason it is not always possible for us to guarantee that we will be able to pick up your items on the day you requested (99% of all pickups are picked up on the requested day).

We will send you an email if we cannot pickup on the day that you scheduled your pickup. Your patience in this respect will be greatly appreciated.
