Pine Tree Waste provides Buxton’s curbside trash pick-up services and can be reached at 773-1122
There will be no curbside pick-up on Christmas Day, New Year’s Day, July 4th, and Thanksgiving Day. If one of these holidays is on a Monday, pick-up will take place on Tuesday. If one of these holidays is on a Wednesday or Thursday, pick-up will be on Friday. All other holidays will be picked up on the regular day.
The following items are unacceptable curbside waste, and will not be picked up by the garbage truck:
• |
Any waste not enclosed in a closed container such as a garbage bag or trash can |
• |
Car or other vehicle batteries or tires |
• |
Commercial waste (see definition below) |
• |
Computers, monitors, television sets, or cell phones |
• |
Dead animals or portions thereof, or other pathological, medical, or biological wastes |
• |
Demolition or construction debris including any pressure treated wood |
• |
Hazardous waste such as fertilizers, pesticides, oil based paint, explosives, solvents, or other chemical agents (Hazardous Waste Disposal Day is a free service held in July at the Transfer Station) |
• |
Inert wastes such as bricks, concrete, asphalt, soil, porcelain fixtures, or rocks |
• |
Junk vehicles or other bulky metal items including white goods (appliances) |
• |
Leaves, pine needles, grass, or garden clippings (we compost these materials for free at the Transfer Station) |

No more than seven 13-gallon bags (standard white kitchen sized garbage bags), or three 32-gallon bags (black leaf bags), or any combination of containers reaching a total of not more than 96 gallons of Acceptable Curbside Waste shall be picked up per week per household. Each container of Acceptable Curbside Waste must weigh thirty-five pounds or less. If you leave a garbage can uncovered in the rain, there’s a good chance it will be too heavy for pick-up.
Acceptable Curbside Waste must be placed within four (4) feet of the road no later than six (6) am of the day of scheduled pick up, but not before six (6) pm of the previous evening.
Acceptable Curbside Waste must be contained in a sealed container such as a garbage bag or trash can, sufficient to prevent waste from escaping said container. It is the responsibility of residents to clean up any waste that escapes from their container(s). This rule is meant to keep Buxton clean and as trash free as possible.
Attention business owners and landlords:
Commercial Waste is defined as any waste from residential dwellings or trailer parks with more than three units, and any waste from a business or institution (including non-profits) that is not considered a home based business or occupation. All such commercial properties shall be responsible for providing their own waste removal services. A home based business or occupation is defined in section 11.10 of the Buxton planning ordinance. For the purposes of curbside waste removal services, home based businesses or occupations shall not be considered commercial. Any building(s) under construction or demolition, whether commercial, institutional, or residential, are considered commercial for the purposes of curbside waste removal services.
Unacceptable curbside waste will be left behind by the garbage truck
