Ryland Environmental will take over Pierce County’s waste collection service beginning Monday, January 2, 2023.
Ryland has been delivering new trash cans to county residents over the last few weeks.
Trash cans should be at the curbside by 6 a.m. on pick-up day. The cans should be pointed with the arrows on the lid facing the street. The cans should be at least three feet away from obstacles such as cars, mailboxes and power poles.
Residents will receive a letter/flyer with instructions. The letter/flyer will be color coated and the color will indicate which day of the week service will be provided to that household.
Orange will receive service Mondays, blue will be Tuesdays, yellow will be Wednesdays, green will be Thursdays and purple will be Fridays.
Cox said that any county resident who wants/needs a trash can and does not yet have a trash can, should call Ryland’s local office at (912) 283-1336 to set up an account.
Ryland Environmental, Inc., was selected as the county’s new solid waste collection provider in September.
Ryland, based in Dublin, bid $18.25 per month for the service. The company will have a local office in Waycross.
Ryland will also bill residents quarterly and the new amount will be $54.75 per quarter.
The county currently has about 6,600 households.
Ryland now serves Pierce County and the cities of Blackshear and Patterson.
