Maintenance

Equipment maintenance is critical to providing the type of service that our valued customers have grown to expect and rely on.  We are also focused on the safety of our equipment.

We believe that a good maintenance program starts with a good Preventive Maintenance Program (PM), and we employ one of the most comprehensive in the industry today.  Republic Services/Allied Waste makes every effort to research and utilize all of the latest technology used in our industry.

Each unit is equipped with the latest technology used for exhaust noise reduction such as “operate at idle” units. These units allow us to operate at lower engine RPMs and maintain the same production speeds. All systems are checked regularly and maintained to original manufacture specifications. Each refuse body used in the collection process employs the best and latest technology for sealing the rear door and all points of entry in order to keep all liquids and trash from spilling onto the ground or blowing out of the unit.

Each unit that we operate displays an identification number on each side and on the rear of the unit in three-inch numbers.  Each unit is also assigned a Drivers Alert number, which is placed on the rear of our units with a 1-800 number for comments or complaints.  Driver alert notifications require corrective action and training by supervisors and are reviewed by senior management to assure proper action is taken.
