Optional Services
Weekly yard waste pick-up
When you help us recycle lawn clippings, leaves and other yard wastes, you are helping to make valuable products for our community.
Our weekly yard waste service collects these materials and takes them to facilities where they can be used to create renewable energy or compost. An additional $10/month fee applies for this service. Or if you only have occasional yard waste to recycle, call us and we can arrange a low cost special pick-up for these materials.
Easily scheduled special pick-ups
Our special pick-up service covers items that are just too big, or require special handling, for our regular pick-up service. This includes items such as: sofa beds, refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, dehumidifiers, building materials, carpeting, flooring, car parts, concrete, dirt, firewood, mulch, roofing materials, sod, stone, wood, etc. If you have items such as these to be disposed of, simply call our office and we will be happy to arrange a special pick-up that works for you.
Haul-It-Away Service
Burns & McBride offers more than just curbside collection…
Our Haul-it-Away service makes trash clean-out, collection and disposal easier for you! Haul-it-Away can remove all unwanted items such as old furniture, appliances and construction debris, from any location at a home or business. No need to prepare or bring items to the curb! The Haul-it-Away team will collect the items directly from basements, garages or other storage locations and properly dispose of them through recycling, charitable donations or landfill disposal.
With our Haul-it-Away service, we can help you properly dispose of a greater variety of material than with our traditional curbside services, including:
- Furniture
- Wood (fencing, firewood and old timbers)
- Construction material (debris, tiling)
- Garden refuse (branches, tree and brush clippings)
- Appliances (with and without CFCs)
- Renovation refuse (walls, windows, floorboards, drywall, carpet, plasterboard and frames)
- Computers, televisions and other electronics
- Tires
Haul-it-Away rates vary based on location and the amount of materials to be collected. Call us at (302) 656-5110 and we’ll put you in touch with our Haul-It-Away team to get an estimate for your clean-up project at your home or business.
Curbside Assistance
If you would prefer that our field team members retrieve and return your trash and recycling carts from an unlocked storage location or backyard, we’re pleased to do so. An additional fee applies for this service.
Move-In Assistance
We know that moving into a new home can be a stressful time in any family’s life. To help reduce some of the clutter, call us at any time within your first month of service and we’ll schedule up to two extra pick-ups - at no extra charge - to take away unwanted boxes and trash.
Household hazardous waste recycling
We provide a number of options to help you properly dispose of household hazardous wastes in a cost-effective way. These services include:
- Return-by-Mail Recycling Kits
Our household hazardous waste recycling kits are postage-paid, return-by-mail programs you can order online. They make it easy and convenient to return CFL bulbs, household batteries, syringes, lancets, e-Waste, and more. Simply mail the items back to RecyclePak® for environmentally responsible treatment and disposal.

Performance Guarantees
Other companies make promises. At Burns & McBride, we make guarantees. With our Advantage Price program†, we GUARANTEE you’ll pay at least 10% less for your basic residential trash and recycling collection compared to the standard rates of the following waste collection companies: Waste Management, Allied Waste Services or Waste Industries, USA (formerly Independent Disposal Service).
No Damage Guarantee
We guarantee it – and back it up with our guarantee to repair any damage that we may have caused, plus we will credit your account for one month’s free service for the inconvenience if damage should occur due to our error.
Clean Pick-Up Guarantee
Our field personnel are trained, monitored and rewarded to provide clean waste pick-ups to our customers. If there is ever a pick-up spill, we will not only clean it up, but we will credit your account for one month’s free service for the inconvenience if a spill should occur due to our error.
We Missed It Guarantee
We guarantee that if the roads are open for business and safe passage (in the company’s judgment) on the day of your scheduled pick-up, and your cart is out in front of your house by 6:00 AM, then we’ll be there to pick-up your trash on that day as promised. We guarantee it – and back it up with a free month of service if we should miss your pick-up day.
*$9.98 monthly fee for residential waste and recycling services assumes electronic payment, excludes fuel recovery fee, and reflects a 60% discount with the purchase of three additional services from Burns & McBride. 60% discount on trash pickup is provided when it’s bundled with Burns & McBride’s HVAC service contract, automatic oil delivery, and home security monthly monitoring services. Your savings may be different. Not all services are available in all areas.
