We offer up to 6 times per week garbage service for commercial businesses. Compost and recycling may be available for service more than once a week.

When you set up service, a customer service representative or a community outreach coordinator will review the cart, bin, and box size options with you to help you select the appropriate sizes for your needs.
Container size and pickup frequency is based on your business’ needs.
Pricing is based on the size garbage container you choose.

Garbage/Landfill
Your garbage is hauled to Clover Flat Landfill and is not sorted for recyclables. Save resources and potentially save money by sorting materials properly!
Pricing is based on the size garbage container you choose.
- Carts: 32, 64, or 96-gallon
- Bins: 2, 4, or 6 cubic yards
- For even larger amounts of landfill waste, we have roll-off bins available on request in 20, 30 and 40 cubic yards.
Recycling
We offer containers for separated recycling: cardboard, glass, and pallet wrap. These programs are available in 4-yard bins or larger.
- Cart: 96-gallon
- Bins: 2, 4, or 6 cubic yards
- Larger roll-off bins are available for customers producing large volumes of recyclables each week.
We also offer 4 and 6 yard bins for single material separated materials at a reduced rate (glass bottles and jars, metal items, and flattened cardboard).
Compost (Green Waste/Food Scraps)
Your green cart is for compost only.
Compost (formerly known as green waste) is for green waste and food scraps only.
- Carts: 96-gallon
Yard Waste Only
For customers with large amounts of yard waste we offer:
- Bins: 2, 4, or 6 cubic yards
Commercial Food Scraps Only
The Food Scraps Compost program is available for our restaurants and businesses with a commercial kitchen. It comes at no additional cost if the containers stay clean without contamination (i.e., plastic, glass, garbage, etc.). Only solid food scraps—no liquids—and food-soiled paper can go into this stream.
- Due to the weight of this material, it is only available in 64-gallon carts
Collection Guidelines
Carts and bins for garbage are serviced up to six times per week per week. Recycling and Compost carts/bins are usually serviced once per week on a designated day depending on where you live.
Upper Valley Disposal & Recycling uses fully automated trucks to help improve collection efficiency and reduce costs. These trucks have a mechanical arm that reaches out and wraps around the carts, lifts them up, and empties the cart’s contents into the top of the truck. Because of this, it is essential they are placed out for collection correctly.
Bins must be located in a designated area for collection.
Cart Set-out Rules
- Please place all carts at the roadside or the designated collection location the night before your collection day with the wheels away from the road. Carts should not be angled.
- Leave 3 feet between carts and place them 3 feet from cars, power poles, mail boxes, trees or other objects.
The area should be free of overhead branches and /or power lines. - Do not overfill carts. Lids must close completely to prevent contents from littering the roadways during the emptying process. Please remember that any materials extending beyond the rim of any cart will be subject to an extra charge or your cart may not be emptied.
Do not compact any waste into carts. Contents must be able to fall freely from cart when it is turned upside down. - Bag all cold ashes (no hot ashes please!), kitty litter, sawdust, and Styrofoam before placing in the cart.
- Carts that are not set out on time or customers that want to skip their collection are not eligible for credit. Our trucks are equipped with onboard computers and cameras that record the times we arrive at your address and empty each cart.
- Private Property Collection may be available for additional fees providing our trucks can safely drive on the property. An operations supervisor will have to do a site visit to determine if this is feasible.
Bin Set-out Rules
- There must not be obstacles in front of or around the bin. Obstacles may prevent the driver from emptying the box as scheduled. This will result in additional fees to return and empty at another time or day.
- Do not overfill bins. Lids must close completely to prevent contents from littering the roadways during the emptying process. Please remember that any materials extending beyond the top of the bin will be subject to an extra charge or your bin may not be emptied.
- Do not compact any waste into bins. Contents must be able to fall freely from bin when it is turned upside down.
Extra Garbage/Recycling/Green Waste
If you have extra garbage, recycling or green waste that does not fit inside your cart or bin, you must call or email the Upper Valley Disposal & Recycling office at least one (1) business day before your collection day.
- You must call or email the office so a work order can be created to instruct the driver to collect the extras. No bags will be collected without a work order.
- There is a charge for extra bags of garbage, recycling and or green waste.
- No more than 3 bags may be placed out and we ask that the bags not be larger than 32 gallons or weigh more than 30 pounds.
- Extra garbage must be placed in plastic bags and tied tightly to prevent contents from spilling onto the roadways.
- Extra green waste must be placed in special recyclable yard waste paper bags or BPI certified compostable plastic bags that can be purchased at your local hardware store. Regular plastic bags will be handled as garbage.
- If you find you have extra bags more than occasionally, consider upsizing your garbage container.
On occasion, our driver might tag your cart/bin when a can is overloaded and the lid is not closed. A picture will be taken and a charge will be added to your account for extra bags and/or extra yards overfull for bins. If the container is so overfull that emptying it may result in materials littering the street, the cart/bin will not be emptied.
Collection Issues
Upper Valley Disposal uses fully automated trucks to help improve collection efficiency and reduce costs. These trucks have a mechanical arm that reaches out and wraps around the carts them up, and empties the cart’s content into the top of the truck. Because of this, it is essential they are placed out for collection correctly.
Bins are emptied using front loader trucks. It is important that there are no obstacles above or around the bin that will prevent it from being safely emptied.
Missed Collection
We make every effort to empty your containers on your service day, but on occasion, we may miss you. We apologize if this happens.
- If our driver skips collection, please call our office within two business days so we can return at no cost to you and empty the containers.
- If your miss is discovered after office hours, you can leave us a message through our contact form.
- We are all human and may accidently forgot to set-out our containers for collection. If this happens, please call our office and let us know. We can offer a one-time courtesy fee waiver and allow you to set out an extra bag the next pick-up day equal to your missed collection without charge. If you cannot wait until the next week to set-out extra garbage, we can go back and empty the cart(s) for an additional week to set-out extra garbage, we can go back and empty the containers for an additional $25 for carts and $75 for bins.
- There are other instances when your container(s) may not be emptied. This may be because the container was not out, or it was blocked by something that prevented us from safely emptying it, or the container had prohibited items. If this was the case, we will leave you a notice with instructions on how to correct the problem (such as the cart was not out, the container was blocked, or the contents of the container had prohibited materials). We can return to empty the container for an additional fee per container.
Damaged or Missing Container
To report a damaged or missing container, call our office or email us through our contact form.
Upper Valley Disposal will replace containers damaged from our equipment or that are broken due to normal wear and tear. Carts should last at least 7 years and bins should last about 10 years.
Containers should never be towed behind vehicles or dragged for long distances since this will damage the wheels and they will need to be replaced at a cost to the customer.
Rates & Billing
Commercial services include different sized carts, containers and debris boxes to fit your waste and recycling needs. The frequency of service depends on the volume of waste, recyclables, or compostables produced.
Pricing is based on the size garbage cart you choose. Rates effective July 1, 2022-June 30, 2023.
