Rural Waste Management makes every reasonable effort to provide reliable, timely waste collection. However, service may be delayed, rescheduled, or temporarily suspended due to circumstances beyond our control, including severe weather, icy or unsafe road conditions, natural disasters, government restrictions, or other acts of God.

If a route is missed due to these conditions, service may not be rescheduled within the same week. Refunds or service credits will not be issued for weather-related or uncontrollable interruptions. Any accumulated excess trash will be collected on your next scheduled service day at no additional charge, provided it is properly bagged and placed neatly beside the container.

To ensure we can service your cart(s), place them out following these guidelines. Carts that are not placed correctly may not be serviced:

• Place carts out for service by 6:00 am on collection day
• Space carts at least 3 feet apart
• Face carts toward the roadway (lid opening toward the road)
• Place carts within 2 feet of the roadway
• Keep lids closed and do not overfill carts
• Do not compress trash so tightly that it will not come out during service
• Do not use bungee cords or rocks on lids — lids must open freely
• Keep carts at least 2 feet from fences, poles, and similar obstacles
• Keep carts at least 5 feet from vehicles, mailboxes, and other obstacles
• Do not place carts under trees or other overhead obstacles
• Do not block carts with cars, trailers, or other items

Also see our cart requirements section.

Do not place rocks, dirt, ash, batteries, car tires, concrete, large amounts of construction material, appliances, hazardous materials, or paint in your cart or dumpster. Carts have a weight limit of 250 pounds.

Important: Do not put ash in carts or dumpsters — even one small ember can cause a fire. Receptacles containing unapproved materials may not be serviced, and a fine may apply.

We cannot place a dumpster on the public right of way of a roadway maintained by the county or the state. The public right of way generally goes from fence line to fence line; if no fence is present, it is marked based on utility poles or posts. A good rule of thumb is about 10 feet from the edge of the maintained roadway.

Dumpsters must be kept on a solid, level surface that is accessible to our trucks, and the area around the dumpster must stay free of obstructions. If placement is an issue, we will work with you to adjust it to meet customer needs and state requirements. Certain areas are not subject to this right-of-way restriction.

• $10 Disconnect Fee — Applied if payment is not made within 10 days after we issue your bill; service may be suspended until the account is paid in full. After 30 days, carts may be picked up and the account closed.
• $25 Dirt, Ash, or Rock Fee — Charged when unapproved materials such as dirt, ash, or rocks are placed in a receptacle (minimum $25 for ash).
• $7 Extra Cart Fee (per collection) — Charged for an extra personal (non-RWM) cart or excess bags left beside your carts. It is usually cheaper to add an official RWM cart to your account.
• $25 Lid Replacement Fee — You are responsible for maintaining the RWM carts assigned to your account, including lids damaged by improper placement or overfilling.
• $100 Replacement Cart Fee — Charged if an RWM cart is damaged or lost due to use outside its intended purpose.
• $50 Overfilled Dumpster Fee — Charged when a dumpster is overfilled or has large items protruding from the top.
