IMPORTANT GUIDELINES FOR AUTOMATED COLLECTION
Guidelines for Automated CollectionPlease read this resident user guide completely. It contains important program information.
• All trash should be bagged and placed in the gray cart with the lid closed. Material may not stick out from the cart with the lid closed.• Trash left beside the cart or in other containers will not be collected.• Collection carts must be set in an accessible location: At least 5 feet from any obstruction such as trees, telephone poles, parked cars,
mailboxes, other carts, etc. Approximately 2 feet from the curb and away from low hanging utility lines.• Carts that are inaccessible will not be serviced until the following week.• The cart must be placed so that the handle faces the house.• All carts MUST be at the curb PRIOR TO 7:00 am on your collection day, even if your collection regularly occurs
later in the day. For various reasons there are occasions where routes are rearranged, causing a variation in collection times. If your material is not out when the truck arrives for collection, it will not be collected until the next week.
• No hazardous or building materials, yard waste, brush, liquids, or recyclables should be placed in trash carts.• Recycling Carts: Recycling carts CAN be filled above the top (within reason) with FLATTENED CARDBOARD (see
pic to right).
Cart Information & BarcodingHampstead residents will receive one cart for trash and one for recycling as part of the automated collection program. These carts are the property of the Town of Hampstead and should not be defaced or modified in any way, or taken with you should you move (even within the town).
While you are able to purchase additional carts for trash or recycling, there are steps you can take to avoid needing to do so. Remove all the recyclable items from your regular trash, before opting for the overflow subscription program; recycling will reduce the volume of your trash significantly. Additionally, be sure to flatten all cardboard boxes, and crush cans and bottles when possible in order to fit as much material in your recycling cart.
Note: All carts are bar-coded to the residential address to which the cart is delivered. If you choose to subscribe to overflow trash service, you will receive an additional cart which has a yellow lid. This cart is also bar coded to the residence to which it is delivered. Carts may not be loaned or sold to another resident. No residential address may have additional free cart colors. If this happens, the cart will be scanned and returned to the correct address.
Missing or Damaged CartsIf for some reason the cart is destroyed, a new cart will be provided free of charge upon the return of the damaged cart. Missing carts will be replaced upon notification to Pinard Waste Systems. Damaged carts will be repaired at no cost to the resident. Call Pinard Waste Systems at 1-800-675-7933. Please detail the nature of the needed repair. (Lid, wheel, etc.)
Place collection cart 2 feet from curb, and at least 5 feet from any obstruction (ie. parked car, other carts, or a tree).
On one way streets, carts should be placed on theright-hand side of the street.
Trash Collection: Cart Provided by the TownYour gray cart may be placed curbside weekly for trash collection. Remember that all trash MUST BE BAGGED before being placed in the cart. If your household generates additional trash that cannot be handled with one cart, you may subscribe to overflow trash service from Pinard Waste Systems (see below). Items left outside of the cart WILL NOT BE COLLECTED, and OVERFLOWING CARTS WILL NOT BE COLLECTED (lid must be closed). Please follow the guidelines below to make sure your material is collected each week.
Overflow Trash Collection: SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE through Pinard Waste SystemsRecyclable material makes up, on average, 60% of household waste. By recycling everything our program allows, the gray cart provided by the Town should be sufficient for most residents’ trash needs. For those with greater trash needs Pinard Waste Systems is providing overflow service for an annual fee of $150. This is an annual subscription program, with the first year rate pro-rated depending on date of sign-up. Subscription customers will receive a second cart, with a yellow lid, which can be placed curbside along with the cart provided by the Town. At the end of the subscription period, if you choose NOT to renew, Pinard will remove the cart. To sign up for subscription service, visit www.pinardwaste.com/municipal and click on “Hampstead Overflow Subscription Request,” or call (603) 623-7933.
BLUE CARTS: Single Stream Recycling: Cart Provided by the Town; Option to Purchase SecondSingle Stream Recycling is a program that allows you to place all of your recyclables in one bin - NO SORTING REQUIRED! All recyclables must be placed IN the collection cart; items left outside the cart WILL NOT BE COLLECTED. If you’re experiencing a persistent, on-going problem whereby your need exceeds the capacity of the cart provided, you may purchase an additional cart for a one-time fee of $75 (for 65 gal) or $100 (for 95 gal). To purchase an additional blue cart, visit www.pinardwaste.com/municipal and click on “Hampstead Recycling Cart Request,” or call (603) 623-7933.
