Dear J. Young Refuse Customers,

We can collect bulk items with your service again. Please put 1 large item out a week. If you have been cleaning up around your house and have extra bags of clean up materials, please do not put out all your extra bags at once.

We appreciate all the customers who were understanding and worked with us during this difficult time. Those customers who were kind to our workers and understood the need to keep them safe and to temporarily stop collection of items is greatly appreciated by our company and workers. We hope all our customers are safe and well during this pandemic and we know it has not been easy with all the changes we have faced. Thank you for your patience. Any questions please call our office we are happy to assist you.
