Curbside Refuse Service

The curbside service is a refuse collection service for residential premises within the City of Concord. Household trash is picked up once each week by the contractor on a scheduled day.  The schedule usually runs from Monday through Friday.   Trash must be placed at curbside by 7:00 AM on the day of pick-up in a purple pay as you throw bag.  There is no regular collection on weekends or on the six holidays;  New Year's Day, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.  When a regular collection day is missed because of a holiday, the collection for the remainder of the week is delayed by one day  (Monday-Saturday).  For example, a Monday holiday will affect the week's schedules as follows:  Monday's route will be picked up on Tuesday.  Tuesday's route will be picked up on Wednesday. Wednesday's route will be picked up on Thursday. Thursday's route will be picked up on Friday. Friday's route will be picked up on Saturday.  
Whenever such adjustments in the schedule occur, notices will be placed in the Concord Monitor. The contractor for the curbside pick-up is Bestway Disposal (224-5454).
