Increase of rates

Posted by Blackhawkwaste

Due to rising costs, such as fuel and supplies, we’ve had to raise the rates of our recurring accounts.

We know no one likes to hear their bill is increasing but we hope you’ll understand that this increase will help us to continue to provide quality and reliable services to you while still keeping rates affordable.

A new process was used to facilitate this increase and as such there may be some discrepancies. If you have any questions on your bill please give us a call and we can review it with you.

This increase goes into effect March 1, 2022.

Freezing Temperatures

Posted by Blackhawkwaste

Due to the forecasted temperatures expected in the morning on Wednesday, January 26, 2022, We will be getting a late start to allow for the temperature to raise to safe operating temperatures. This may cause some collection delays.

We ask you to please be patient while this cold snap hits. We will resume normal route collections once conditions are safe.

If your trash or recycling is not picked up Wednesday, please leave it accessible for Thursday collection.
