Q: Are containers/toters/carts/bins required from Anthracite?

Q: How does bulk (large item) pickup work? Is advance notice required?
A: Bulk items may be placed curbside on a resident’s regular trash collection day. Advance notice is not required.
Anthracite crews will collect bulk items whether or not a call is made. Residents may choose to contact Anthracite in advance if they wish, as advance notice can assist with scheduling, but it is optional.
Q: Where and when do I place my trash cans out for pick-up?
A: Where: Place your trash cans/bins/carts where you were accustomed to placing it prior to the service switch to Anthracite. They have their crew acclimating themselves to the secondary streets as well as main streets.
