    American Waste & Recycling offers TWO different service options to choose from that can be tailored to fit your needs.  

  • Deluxe Service:          Recycling - Garbage Collection
  • Economy Service:    Garbage Collection



  • Automated Garbage Collection
    Residential Automated Waste Collection System



    With Automated collection, you fill your container(s) during the week and roll them to the curb on your regular service day.  A truck equipped with a mechanical arm lifts it from the street and empties its contents into the truck without the driver ever leaving the cab, but if need be our specially equipped right-hand drive low entry trucks allow drivers to safely exit and enter for hand loading.  Trucks never have to drive on the wrong side or down the middle of the road greatly increasing public and driver safety.
