  • Do not mix any materials together for collection.
  • Do not discard any linens/towels into the waste as soiled materials contain bodily fluids, which are detected when transporting the waste to the dump. If detected, our truck will be held at the facility and will not be allowed to leave until a full inspection is complete and the source is identified.
  • Bulk items cannot be placed for regular collection. Should you need  pick up of any bulk items such as furniture, broken equipment, building materials, etc., contact Classic’s customer service to schedule and arrange special pick-up services.
