Seasonal Container Reservation Program (SCRP)

Reserve your once-a-year free container in a fair, phased system

This year, SCRP reservations open in tiers to create a more equitable experience. Reservations cannot be made over the phone due to required forms and disclosures.

Important: Your postcard includes your area’s reservation opening date and your scheduled container delivery days.

Reservations open in phases

 
1 • Early-Bird

Cancellation waitlist priority

Access for those on last year’s cancellation waitlist who didn’t receive a container.

2 • Early Access

Did not participate last year

For individuals who didn’t participate in the program at all last year (if availability remains).

3 • General Reservations

Past participants (if available)

For those who received a container last year, if availability remains after earlier phases.

Availability notice: All reservations are subject to container availability. Securing a container is not guaranteed, regardless of priority level.

Container delivery & placement

 
Delivery window (7:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.)
Containers are delivered between 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. on the scheduled day. Due to routing, we can’t provide a more specific arrival time. We aim to ensure residents have up to 24 hours to use the container.
Friday deliveries → Monday pickup
If your container is delivered on a Friday, it will be picked up on Monday. (Some holidays will affect pickups.)
Placement requirements (driveway rules)
To ensure a successful delivery, your driveway must be:
  • Clear and accessible
  • Large enough (approximately 10' × 20')
  • Off the street and public sidewalks

If the driveway is inaccessible, staff cannot deliver the container, and the reservation will be forfeited.

What can & can’t go in the containers

 
✅ Permitted items
  • Bulk household waste – furniture, mattresses, and similar large items
  • Appliances – refrigerators/freezers must be tagged by a certified appliance professional, verifying freon has been removed
  • Yard waste – leaves, branches, and other organic materials
❌ Not permitted
  • Hazardous materials – paint, oil, batteries, propane tanks, 50-gallon drums
  • Commercial/contractor/industrial waste – containers are for residential use only
  • Other toxic or hazardous materials
Important guidelines (overloading, dumping, curb piles)
  • Do not overload containers or place waste on the ground around them.
  • WFWRD employees will not collect waste left on the ground or curb.
  • No commercial or construction dumping is allowed.
