Trash cans and recycle bins must be placed at a curb side area in front of the home to facilitate collection on the respective collection day for each type of refuse. All containers must be stored out of sight and may be put out only the day before pickup and must be retrieved by the evening of the scheduled pickup. 

Homeowners may never deposit household trash in the containers at the community center.

Collection will not take place on the following holidays: New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. If one of these holidays falls on a regular collection day, that day is skipped (not shifted).

Hadley Farms provides two community-wide bulk trash pickups per year. On the scheduled pickup date, items must be out by 7AM.

The following items cannot be part of the community bulk pick up: Liquids or chemicals in any form, construction debris, such as piles of wood or dry wood, carpeting which is not cut into three foot rolls, large furniture pieces which are not broken down, (example, a large wall unit), tire, sleeper sofas (because of metal components), railroad ties. Cardboard, yard waste, and other recycling items should not be part of bulk trash pickup, but should be placed out on normal recycling days.

Outside of the scheduled bulk trash collection days, owners must coordinate the removal of bulk trash at their own expense. As a reminder, County residents can take their bulk trash items to the Shady Grove Transfer Station.

You may also call the community’s trash company, J&J Trash, 1-800-465-2350, to obtain a price for picking up bulk items.
