Frequently Asked Questions

How do Apple trucks operate?
We use a safe, semi-automatic process to pick up your trash. Our drivers get out of the truck at every stop to make sure that the system empties all of your trash into the truck. The good news for you is that no loose trash will be left at your curb.

What is Yard Waste?
Yard Waste is considered to be grass clippings and leaves only.  No Branches, dirt or sod.

Do you take Concrete or Bricks?  
We do not take any concrete, bricks or landscaping bricks.  These will damage the blades on the truck.

Why are Apple trucks pavement-friendly?
Rear-loading trucks distribute weight more evenly. That means a reduced risk of cracking your concrete or creating sink holes in your asphalt.

How do I sign up?
Sign up is easy. Signup online or call us at (402) 330-3603. And don’t forget to register for Curbside Rewards powered by RecycleBank recycling program, because the value of your Reward Points is likely to exceed the cost of your monthly service.

What if I move?
If you move, contact us at (402) 330-3603 to update your address.

Can I put trash bags at the curb?
Yes. But first try to recycle as much as you can and earn more Reward Points to use at local businesses. If you still have overflow, set your closed trash bags at the curb for collection.

Will my trash and recycling be picked up on holidays?
If a holiday falls on a week day, collection is delayed by one day for the remainder of the week. Apple Recycling & Trash does not operate on the following holidays: Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.

May I use my own Yard Waste cart?
When you sign up for seasonal Yard Waste pickup for an extra $12 per month, Apple provides you with a cart marked specifically for Yard Waste. You may use your own paper yard waste bags, but not your own cart. The Yard Waste season is April through November.
