A real-life rural customer story
We don’t do one-size-fits-all because, well, garbage shouldn’t be one-size-fits-all. It should fit your life. Your mess. Your routine.
But let’s be honest — sometimes we get stuck doing things the way we’ve always done them. That’s exactly what happened with one of our rural customers, who had been using a large dumpster on an as-needed basis for years.
The Old Setup: Big Bin, No Plan
This customer had a trusty dumpster sitting on their property, scheduled for pickup only when it got full, usually every six to eight weeks. No recycling. No set schedule. Just a big dumpster and a phone call when things started to overflow.
It felt convenient. But over time, it meant trash would pile up between pickups and recyclables had to be hauled into town.
The Sweetman Solution
After a quick chat with our team, the customer realized there was a better option. We set them up with:
- Two garbage carts picked up every other week
- Two recycling carts picked up every four weeks
That’s right, rural customers get recycling service too. And if every four week recycling pick-up sounds like a stretch, don’t worry. We leave two carts to handle the load. Online shoppers, rejoice.
The Best Part? About the Same Cost
Here’s where it gets good. With their new plan, they were paying roughly the same as they were for the occasional dumpster pickup.
But now they had reliable, scheduled service, less clutter, and a whole lot more convenience. Plus, recycling was finally part of the deal. No more loading up the car just to ditch a stack of cardboard.
We Fit the Plan to You
At Sweetman Sanitation, we don’t expect your waste routine to look like your neighbor’s. That’s why we offer:
- Weekly or bi-weekly scheduled pick-up
- As-needed service when life doesn’t follow a schedule
- Dumpsters, carts, and roll-offs for all types of properties
- BYOB (bring your own bin) if you’ve already got one that works
Whether you want to stick with the dumpster or switch to carts, we’ve got you covered. The goal is simple: a cleaner, easier, smarter way to handle your trash and recycling.
