Frequently asked questions
Before you reserve
Is service currently operating?
Not yet. We are recording interest and planning the first collection routes before service begins.
Does reserving commit me to anything?
No. Reserving your address is free and does not create a contract or require payment.
Why do you need my address?
Trash routes work best when multiple nearby households are served on the same collection day. Address-level interest helps us plan practical routes.
Will customers receive a trash bin?
The planned service includes a commercial wheeled residential trash bin. Final pricing will be announced before launch.
Is Kootenai County Trash Pickup affiliated with Kootenai County government?
No. Kootenai County Trash Pickup, LLC is an independent private business. We are not affiliated with, contracted by, endorsed by or employed by Kootenai County government. Our name describes the geographic area we plan to serve.
What will weekly trash service cost?
Final pricing has not been established. Based on current planning, the most likely starting price is approximately $35 to $45 per month for weekly pickup of one standard residential bin. Actual pricing may vary by route location, disposal costs, fuel costs and the number of nearby households that enroll. Customers will be shown the final price before choosing whether to begin service.
What day and time will trash be picked up?
Collection days have not been finalized. Each customer will be assigned a regular weekly pickup day once routes are established. Customers should plan to place their bin at the roadside by early morning on their scheduled day, since exact pickup times may vary as routes grow or road conditions change.
Can I pause or cancel service if I am not here year-round?
We expect to offer flexible options for seasonal residents, including the ability to pause or cancel service with advance notice. Final policies, notice requirements and any applicable fees will be provided before customers enroll.
Do you operate throughout the winter?
Yes. We plan to provide year-round service whenever roads can be traveled safely. During severe winter weather, collection may occasionally be delayed if roads have not been cleared or conditions make travel unsafe for our trucks.
If we are unable to reach your property, we will make every reasonable effort to provide a makeup pickup or collect additional household trash on your next scheduled service day. In situations where service cannot reasonably be made up, we may issue a service credit at our discretion.
Safety will always come first for our drivers, customers, and the public. We appreciate your patience and understanding during severe winter weather.
