Blue Hen Disposal offers once a week residential waste collection and every other week recycling collection throughout Sussex County, Delaware. Blue Hen provides 95 gallon trash and recycling wheeled carts to all residential customers. We ask that our customers have their trash out to the curb the night before the day of their scheduled pick-up.
Blue Hen disposal picks up residential waste with the newest, most technologically advanced fleet of automated collection trucks in Delaware. When placing your trash container at the curb do not lean objects against the container or place the container too close to fences, trees, mailboxes, or vehicles.
Blue Hen Disposal has several options for payment with no additional charge to our customers. We accept Visa, Mastercard, or Discover payable via telephone or check.
