Residential Service Guidelines

ARS Refuse Service provides weekly trash pickup for rural customers, and we are also the preferred provider for many of the villages, towns, and cities throughout our surrounding area.

Because each municipality can have its own refuse removal rules, please call our office if you live in a village, town, or city and we’ll provide a copy of the guidelines for your area.
