Frequently asked questions

What can I put in my single-stream recycling bin?

Accepted items include metal cans and bottles, aluminum foil, plastic bottles and tubs, glass beverage and food jars, cardboard, cartons, newsprint, office paper, and pizza boxes. All items should be empty, rinsed, and clean, and should not be shredded, boxed, bagged, or bundled.

What is single-stream recycling?

Instead of sorting recyclables into separate bins, customers drop accepted paper, plastic, metal, and glass together into one recycling bin. USA's crew collects it and does the sorting at their material recovery facility.

What items are not accepted in the recycling bin?

Plastic bags and wrap, Styrofoam, paint cans, pots and pans, small scrap metal, prescription bottles, single-use coffee cups and pods, ceramic mugs and plates, drinking glasses, shredded paper, tissue paper, and non-food-grade aerosol cans are not accepted. No plastic bags, please.

What if I need to dispose of items that don't go in the bin?

USA offers an online search tool for hard-to-recycle items such as paint, mattresses, electronics, clothing, furniture, and hazardous waste, which directs you to the most convenient disposal option in your area.

High winds blew both bins over and scattered cardboard around. The driver was great - he got out picked everything up set the bins upright. Five star service! Doing a great job.

We went with USA Hauling for a dumpster to clean out our a relatives house after a death and we were SO happy with the service and so thankful to USA for helping to make things run so smoothly. The dumpster was placed exactly how we needed even when we thought it would be a tough position. We had the dumpster picked up when full also and exchanged for another smaller size which happened seamlessly. We truly can’t thank USA and the whole team for making this all so easy and I’m so impressed with the services!

It's a great feeling to know that recycling is actively happening in the US thanks to their impressive operations. Five stars for their commitment to sustainability and 92% waste diversion rate!
