Service

Pick up times may vary, some drivers pick up one side of the road at a time, and sometimes drivers break off from a route and return at a later time the same day. Please contact customer service no earlier than 4:30 PM on your service day to report a missed pick up. All misses must be reported the week they occur for a prompt resolution. 

Due to our automated equipment, Red Oak provides can only service; any excess waste beyond your 95-gallon cart will require you to order an additional cart.

Carts must be curbside the night before your scheduled service day. Place each cart within 3 feet of the curb, 3 feet from a mailbox or other object, with handles facing the house, and 1 foot or more separating each cart.

Red Oak offers backdoor service in limited areas under specific circumstances. Please contact customer service to inquire.

Red Oak provides residential household waste removal. Household waste is defined as waste produced within the kitchen and bathrooms. The following are not accepted for pick up:

Red Oak does provide yard waste removal. Yard waste must be bagged or bundled and placed inside of the cart for service. Rocks, mulch, dirt, and limbs greater than 3 feet in length and 3 inches in diameter are not accepted.

If your trash or recycle cart is old or smelly, Red Oak can replace it for a fee. Please call the office for details. If your cart breaks, we will repair or replace it at no cost. Please request a replacement here. All cart repairs/replacements are done on your regular service day.

Red Oak now offers dumpster service. Please reach out to Lydia to see if we can service your area. Lydia@redoaksanitation.com.

Red Oak offers bulk pickup service in certain areas. For more information, view our Bulk Pickup page and contact our customer service department for details.

Red Oak does not offer temporary suspension of service.

Please contact customer service to set up your cancellation and schedule your final pick up. We do not accept letters or post cards as forms of cancellation. You must be the account holder to cancel service. Cancellations must be scheduled one week prior to your last service day. The carts are removed on the final service day by a separate truck, not one that picks up trash or recycling. If Red Oak is unable to remove the carts, you will be billed for them.

Our drivers operate on a weekly pickup schedule, and unfortunately, we do not offer bi-weekly pickup options.

Unfortunately, Red Oak does not provide standalone recycling services. We offer comprehensive waste management solutions that include both waste and recycling services.

Billing or Account

You have several convenient options:

If you are making a late payment the day before your scheduled pickup, please call us directly.

Paper Billing: Hardcopy bills are available for customers on a quarterly billing cycle. However, there is a $2.00 fee to cover the costs of paper and postage. For a free alternative, you can switch to email billing by contacting our customer service team.

Your account number is included on the first receipt sent to your email address after starting service. Please check your spam folder. If you receive paper bills, your account number is in the top right corner. If you cannot find your account number, please contact customer service.

The default password is the last 4 digits of the main phone number on the account. If those digits do not grant you access, please call the office.

Accepted Payment Methods: What forms of payment does Red Oak accept? We accept all major credit and debit cards for payments made through our online portal or over the phone. For automatic drafts or payments via phone using your checking account, we accept ACH information. Additionally, you can mail or bring checks or cash to our office in person. To change your payment method from a credit/debit card to ACH, please contact customer service.

Login to our payment portal using your account number and password. Follow the prompts to pay your bill using the card you want to use for payments, then select “Check here to sign up for AutoPay” and your payment method will be saved for your future auto drafts. If you do not owe anything, you can make a payment of $0 to update the card.

If you are unable to pay your bill by the due date, please call our office immediately. Accounts that remain unpaid for two weeks or more after the due date will have their services temporarily suspended, and the carts will be scheduled for removal.

As a free alternative, we also accept ACH payments for monthly auto-drafts, which are also processed on the first of the month.
