yard waste and rubbish

How Does It Work?

In the past, our customers have asked countless times if they can fill our empty soil bags with their yard waste - old soil and dead sod. Now they can!

We are now able to pick up our used soil bags filled with yard waste and rubbish, within the Greenhorizons service area.

For $127.00 plus tax, we will pick up our bags filled with garden and household garbage - including the kitchen sink. We cannot take any hazardous goods. The customer must sign a Declaration of Non Hazardous Goods.

We will be picking up these bags on our regular suggested days.


Some points to keep in mind:

  • Bags must be accessible to the Greenhorizons forklifts
  • Duffle top must be securely tied shut
  • Lifting loops must be accessible to our forklifts
  • Maximum weight: 2000 lbs.
  • Disclaimer must be in pouch
  • Pick-ups within Greenhorizons service area only

    Or an additional $25 rescheduling fee will apply.

$25.00 discount if picked up between May 24, 2008 and June 30, 2008.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I already returned the bag or do not have an empty bag?
You can pick up the bag at our office at 2907 Upper James in Mount Hope for $5 or we can deliver you an empy bag for $30.

Do I still receive the $5 refund on the bag ?
Because the bags cannot be reused after they have been filled with garbage, the bag refund is not given when we pick up your "Yard Waste and Rubbish".

What happens if the bag is not accessible to the Greenhorizons forklifts ?
A charge of $25 will be billed for our pick-up attempt. Please be sure the bag is placed where a 9-foot wide forklift can access it without overhead obstructions.

What can I put in the bag?
Yard waste, typical household waste, construction waste, soil, sand and concrete.
- No hazardous waste - including paint cans, aerosol cans, tires, propane tanks, contaminated soil, asbestos or any other hazardous waste. You will be liable for any additional costs incurred by Greenhorizons.
