Plastic mattress wrap can be found online or at local grocery stores, hardware stores, storage and moving outlets. If using loose plastic, it must be completely taped and secured on all corners with no exposure to the mattress.

Bulk items requiring special equipment and additional labor, such as a piano, sleeper sofa (couch with pull out bed) and large entertainment center are considered a Special Refuse Collection.

In addition, we are celebrated for offering customizable solutions to fit the needs of each of our business and community clients. It is our pleasure to ensure our services are completed to perfection and perfectly match your waste removal needs.

 

As Orion Waste Solutions and LRS are merging, Siloam Springs individuals can expect to see blue service vehicles performing our waste management projects and to be directed to the LRS website for assistance. We are looking forward to pairing our expertise with the advanced level of service you’ve already received for an even better experience!
