PAYMENT
Invoices are paid the 2nd Wednesday of each month for a sum of all the invoices from the total previous month.
Items need to be ready and accessible at the time of pick-up. Here are a few guidelines regarding how items should be organized for pickups. Following these guidelines will ensure efficient service and better customer relations.
- Cans and plastic must be separated. The bags should be tied in square knots, no ties, tape, other knot types, etc. Items may not be flattened or smashed. Bags must not contain trash or excessive amounts of liquid per Iowa code.
IOWA CODE 567-107.7(455C) BEVERAGE CONTAINERS MUST BE REASONABLY CLEAN.Consumers shall take care to return containers in a reasonably clean and intact condition.In order to be redeemed, an empty beverage container shall be dry and free of foreign materials other than the dried residue of the beverage.
If your bags have excessive liquid in them it becomes a safety concern and causes significant damage to our equipment. Bags with excessive liquid will be refused.
- Glass bottles must be in boxes, not bags for the safety of our employees. Please refer to the size and quantity guidelines on the front of this page. If boxes of glass are stored outside, they must be kept dry. We will not pick the items up if the boxes are wet and falling apart.
- Items need to be in specific area and easily accessible. Snow and ice must be cleared and doorways or walk ways should not be blocked by other debris. Also, we will not pick up product that requires the use of stairs. Carting product up or down stairs has been determined to be unsafe by our insurance company/provider. They will not allow us to do it.
If this is currently the case, your route manager can discuss alternatives with you to continue service. This could be an advance call or a change in your time or day for pick up.
Non-compliance will result in those items being left until the problem is corrected. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to call us at 563-585-1092.
