The Basics of Trash

Garbage collection

Garbage is generally thought of as unwanted materials and objects that people have thrown away. Also known as trash or rubbish, it comes in various forms, such as, solid, liquid or gas.

With the increased awareness of recycling efforts and waste avoidance strategies, garbage volumes should decline over time. Start your garbage collection service today.
