Recycling & Trash Services

General Information Regarding Trash Service

Trash and recycling services are provided to Hunters Ridge homes as part of the annual dues assessment.

Frequency

Trash is picked up on Monday and Thursday. Recycling is picked up on Monday. Both trash and recycling services begin at 5:00 a.m. on these days. Yard waste will be picked up, when properly bundled (see Rules, Regulations & Procedures below), on Monday and Thursday.

Containers

Each new Hunters Ridge home was provided a wheeled trash cart and a recycle bin by the original trash provider to Hunters Ridge when first occupied. Over time, changes have occurred in trash haulers so the name on the trash carts and recycle bins may read American Disposal, Five Star, AAA or Waste Management prior to April 1, 2011. After April 1, 2011, Charlie & Son will provide, and own, brand new trash carts and recycle bins to each home in Hunters Ridge. Each Hunters Ridge homeowner or renter is financially responsible for lost, damaged and stolen trash carts and recycle bins. Each homeowner or renter is also charged with the responsibility to pass these containers onto subsequent homeowners and renters at the same address. Each new buyer or renter is responsible to assure that they receive a Charlie & Son trash cart and recycle bin as part of occupying the residence. If the new owner or renter does not receive a Charlie & Son trash cart and/or a recycle bin they will need to contact the trash hauler directly and arrange to have a replacement delivered. The owner or renter, not the Hunters Ridge HOA, is responsible for paying all costs and expenses for replacement containers.

The trash hauler will collect trash and recyclables from privately owned containers so long as they are well constructed and consistent with the design of the hauler’s containers. The trash hauler is not required to collect trash from a competitor’s trash and/or recycling container.
