Trash Information

Information about trash, recycling and yard waste pickups in the Foxcroft neighborhood.

Foxcroft contracts with Waste Management for trash, recycling and yard waste service. Trash service is the largest portion of the annual dues that you pay.

To report missed pickups, contact Waste Management at [email protected].

Every household has two bins, one with a black lid (trash) and a larger one with a yellow lid (recycling).

Pickups are on Wednesdays . Waste Management holidays are New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day and Christmas. If those dates land on a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday, service is typically delayed by one day. At these times, you may notice neighbors hedging their bets by placing their trash out, as usual, on Wednesday mornings, with the understanding it may not be picked up until Thursday.

Trash: picked up weekly.

Recycling: picked up every other week.

Yard waste: limit is 10 paper lawn bags per week. Yard waste is picked up every Wednesday in March through the first week in January. Yard waste in the remainder of January and February is upon request by your household.

Schedule pickup during those months at least 24 hours in advance:
