Covid-19 Update

How COVID-19 Is Affecting Granger Operations

Since waste collection is designated an essential service by Homeland Security, we are continuing to run routes as usual under the Executive Order, while taking any necessary precautions to protect the health and well-being of our associates. 

We know that trash collection is an essential service which is vital for the protection of health and safety in the communities we serve.

We are taking necessary action to limit the spread of the coronavirus. This includes following all recommendations and requirements of the CDC, the Executive Order and emergency orders from local health departments, as well as implementing safety measures beyond these recommendations and requirements.

We don’t anticipate any changes to service levels as long as our staffing levels continue to be adequate.

Safety Changes For Our Associates

For the safety of our associates, we have made some changes to how we pick up trash and recycling.

  • Until further notice, our associates will not be picking up any trash or recycling that is not appropriately contained.
  • Trash must be in a bag to be picked up and should also be in a cart whenever possible.
  • Recycling should be in a tub or cart to be picked up. However, cardboard outside of a container will be picked up if it is broken down flat.
  • Blue bag recycling customers must have all their recycling in blue bags, and bags should be placed in their carts whenever possible.
