With PCS season in full swing, be sure to familiarize yourself with the disposal resources available to you on JBER!
Weekly TRASH AND RECYCLING Pickup
- There is no set pickup time, there is only a set pickup date. For this reason, trash and recycling receptacles must be on the curb by 0600. Just because a trash vehicle picks up your trash at a certain time one week, doesn’t mean that pickup time will be the same the following week.
- Tipsters should be stored inside the garage at all times, this helps reduce the chance of attracting wildlife.
- Alaska Waste will not pick up items that are placed outside of the tipster. For disposal of larger items, please utilize our bulky item pickup service.
