***ALL NEW TRASH/RECYCLING INFORMATION BEGINNING 7/1/19***        

As of 7/1/19, the Town of Pineville has contracted with Waste Pro for residential solid waste removal.  Residential customers should have received two new carts from Waste Pro:

•   Green cart for trash
•   Blue cart for recycle

The town pays for two carts for each household. Residents can request additional carts from Waste Pro at their own expense. The contract with Waste Pro was designed to match much of the items that were in Signature Waste’s contract to make the transition as smooth as possible:

• Pickup day remains the same; trash/yard debris picked up each Wednesday and Recycle picked up every other Wednesday (except some holidays).  All trash must be bagged and placed in the roll out container.
• Yard debris picked up on Wednesday; piles of branches/brush should be kept small, cut up and stacked neatly at the curb. If a resident contracts with someone to cut/trim bushes, trees and other yard work, the contractor is responsible for removing the debris that they generate. Grass clippings/leaves should be bagged and labeled so the driver is aware of what is in the bag.
• Bulky items must be scheduled with Waste Pro. If your trash exceeds the size of your cart, you should call this in as well.
• Absolutely no construction debris can be picked up.

Some items are banned from landfills which waste providers are prohibited from collecting. The following is a list of the items that cannot be picked up:

• Construction debris
• TV’s, Computers & related Electronic Equipment
• Tires, Paint, all Batteries
• Automotive Fluids
• Pool Chemicals
• Florescent Bulbs & Tubes

These items can be taken directly to the Fox Hole Recycling Center located just a few miles away at 17131 Lancaster Hwy. Information Hotline for Solid Waste:  (980) 314-3867 or email to:  [email protected]

The above rules are no different than what was in the contract for Signature Waste.  What is different, is that the town recently enacted stronger regulations regarding trash in an effort to keep the town looking nice. The previous trash ordinance was very vague. The new one is more specific and spells out exactly how much yard waste is permitted per pickup and the size and length of tree limbs that will be picked up. It also spells out where and when to place your trash carts out at the curb. Additionally, it provides for a monetary penalty for anyone that does not abide by the regulations.

In today’s environment, trash is becoming more and more regulated so it is necessary to limit the size of what can be picked up as well as what items can be picked up. What may have been permitted previously may not be permitted now and new regulations come to us from the state and county on a regular basis. Therefore, it was necessary to redefine our trash regulations.
