Comprehensive Guide & Details
Weekly Thursday Collection by Community Waste Disposal
Residents of McLendon-Chisholm receive their municipal solid waste services through an exclusive contract with Community Waste Disposal (CWD). The standard collection schedule runs on Thursdays for the entire community. Homeowners must ensure their grey 95-gallon refuse cart is wheeled to the street edge no later than 7:00 AM on service day, as routes can run anytime between 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM. To protect sanitation workers, the city requires all household garbage to be tightly bagged before being tossed into the grey bin. Unbagged loose trash can easily blow away during the mechanical lifting process and create litter across the neighborhood.
Strict Cart Placement and Spacing Rules
Proper alignment of your bins is critical for the automated arms on CWD trucks to function efficiently. When setting out your receptacles on Thursday mornings, position them with the wheels and handles facing directly toward your residence, and ensure the lid is fully closed. You must leave a minimum clearance of three feet between the trash bin and the recycling bin. Additionally, keep both carts at least three feet away from stationary objects like mailboxes, parked vehicles, gas meters, and drainage ditches. Overloaded containers or bins blocked by cars will be bypassed by the driver.
Blue Cart Recycling Requirements
Participating in the local sustainability effort is simple with the provided 95-gallon blue recycling cart. Unlike your regular garbage, recyclable materials should never be placed in plastic garbage bags; they must be tossed loosely into the blue bin. Acceptable items include flattened corrugated cardboard, aluminum beverage cans, glass bottles, and plastic containers numbered one through seven. Contaminating the blue cart with prohibited materials such as food waste, greasy pizza boxes, or tangled yard hoses will result in the cart being rejected at the curb.
Brush and Bulky Waste Allowances
When you have larger items that simply will not squeeze into the standard grey cart, you can take advantage of the weekly bulk and brush collection, which also occurs every Thursday. CWD allows each household to set out up to one cubic yard of bulky waste or loose brush per week—roughly the equivalent size of a standard washing machine. Tied and bundled brush is accepted in unlimited quantities, provided each individual bundle weighs less than 50 pounds. Acceptable bulk items include tagged yard tools, bundled carpet cut into four-foot lengths, and standard household furniture.
