Full Breakdown
The City of Anderson coordinates weekly residential trash collection; your pickup day depends on your route, shown on the city's collection map. Residents are encouraged to set trash out the night before their scheduled collection day. Trash outside of the carts, except items defined as Heavy Pick-Up materials, is not collected. Co-mingled recycling is collected every other week on the same day as trash by Best Way Disposal, which provides a recycling cart and calendar. Best Way picks up on every holiday except Christmas and New Year's Day, when routes shift back one day.
