Important Service Alert

STR is working on transitioning to the new three cart program.  As we start to utilize new trucks and update routes to maximize efficiency, it is important that all customers make sure to get their containers out by 7am. Currently all service days will remain the same, but your pickup time can change. For Nevada customers not participating in the 3-cart program, pickup times may still change so please have your containers out by 7 am. Thanks for your cooperation.

The new 3 carts will start to be delivered the last week in August. Learn more about the 3-cart system
