Holiday Waste Pickup Schedule

Arwood Waste wants to celebrate all the holidays with you too. This is why we created a Holiday Pick-up schedule so you can make arrangements and placement of your waste material while we spend time with our families. Businesses that currently receive collection may have different schedules and procedures than residential customers since business garbage is normally collected separately from residential garbage.

Call us toll free at 1-800-477-0854 today and ask us how we can save you time and money.

Collection service will be postponed by one day following these holidays:

• New Year’s Day – No Service on January 1st. One day delay. Example; Tuesday collection day will be serviced on Wednesday.
• Fourth of July – No Service on July 4th. One day delay. Thursday collection day will be serviced on Friday.
• Labor Day – No Service on the first Monday of September. One day delay. Monday collection day will be serviced on Tuesday.
• Thanksgiving Day – No Service on the last Thursday of November. One day delay. Thursday collection day will be serviced on Friday.
• Christmas Day – No Service on December 25th. One day delay. Example; Wednesday collection day will be serviced on Thursday.
• Halloween Day – We will be providing service on October 31st. If the route is delayed and cannot be finished before dusk we will finish the route the next business day.
• National Garbage Man Day – We will be providing service on June 17th as scheduled. Please remember to throw up your hand with a simple smile and say “Thank You”.

Due to the one day postponement, the collection of containers is resumed as follows: If the holiday is on a Monday, then the Monday collection will occur on Tuesday, Tuesday collection will occur on Wednesday, and so on. If the holiday is on a Thursday, then the Thursday collection will occur on Friday and Friday collection will occur on Saturday for that week only. On all other holidays, normal collection of containers will occur. If a holiday falls on the weekend, then pickups will run on a normal schedule unless otherwise specified.

Arwood Waste Holds Annual U.S. Flag Retirement Ceremony

In conjunction with Flag Day and National Garbage Man Day celebrations, Arwood Waste recently held it’s annual Flag Retirement Ceremony. This year’s ceremony was held at the home of John D. Arwood, President of Arwood Waste. The U.S. flag is a beacon to the world of the core American values that we hold most dear–Freedom, Honor, Justice and Respect. While those values will always live on, each physical U.S. flag eventually reaches the end of their life-span. Arwood Waste is proud to continue offering this free public service throughout the year in partnership with local Boy Scout Troops and local U.S. Military.

How To Participate

If you have a damaged, faded or old U.S. flag, Arwood Waste is honored to properly dispose of it for no charge. We want to make this service easy for you.

1. Send us your Flag.

Drop off your flag at any Arwood Waste location during regular business hours or mail your flag to our corporate offices at:

Arwood Waste
13255 Lanier Rd
Jacksonville, FL 32226

2. We will retire your flag.

Arwood Waste stores all U.S. flags received and holds a Flag Retirement Ceremony in conjunction with Flag Day each year during which all collected flags are respectfully and properly disposed of. We’d be honored to include yours.

3. Share with a Friend.

Properly retiring a flag is not a process that everyone is familiar with. Why not let your friends and families know about this free community service from Arwood Waste?

Arwood Waste is proud to offer this public service at no charge.

Here are just a few links to pictures and notes people shared of how they showed their appreciation the week of June 17th:

Did you know there were 86 revisions made to Thomas Jefferson’s original draft of the Declaration of Independence?

And those changes resulted in it being shortened to a fourth of the original length. Wonder who was responsible for collecting all the trash from those revisions?

All of us at Arwood Waste, 123 Dumpster Rental, 123 Portable Toilet Rental, Dependable Demolition, and ASAP Storage Rental give thanks for our freedom and honor all the men and women who defend our independence. We wish you and your family a fun and safe Independence Day.

It is our privilege as a small business in this great country to serve you, our customers, with top quality services and rentals.

We love to celebrate this freedom each July 4th with friends and family, barbecue, and fireworks. We hope you celebrate too and when it’s time to clean up just give us a call at 1-888-413-5105 and let us serve you.

Have an All-American Independence Day!
