- Flyers: Our
two page recycling, trash & compost information flyer is available for
download in PDF format:
- Trash limits:
30 gallons is an average size trash barrel, or about 2 1/2 standard 12 gallon kitchen bags. We charge for trash by weight or
volume, whichever one is greater, assuming up to 1 pound per gallon. Additional trash is $2.50 per 10 gallons or pounds,
if your Pedal Person has space to take it. Advance notice or an extra pickup may be necessary depending on how much extra you have.
- Recycling limits:
For weekly pickups, we'll take up a maximum of four 14-gallon tubs (which we provide) of recycling per pickup. For biweekly
or monthly pickups, we'll take a maximum of three 14-gallon tubs. Note that cardboard, when flattened and left outside of
the tubs, also counts towards these totals. (For example, a biweekly pickup may be thought of as having 2 14-gallon tubs
of paper and containers, plus several medium sized pieces of cardboard.) If the worker has space, extra recycling may be
taken for $2.50 per 14-gallon tub.
- Compost limits:
Compost pickups are included in the cost of any level of trash service. We'll take up to 8 gallons of compost per pickup.
If we have space, additional compost counts towards one's trash totals, after which is an extra $.25/pound.
Regular amounts above all of these levels can be arranged. Contact us to discuss your specific situation.

our normal rates, with the help of a fund kindly donated by our customers. If you feel you need it,
you may request assistance from 10 to 50 percent off our normal prices on our sign-up form, or
contact us directly to ask about it. These reductions only affect the base price, and do not
apply to extra charges.
