A camp of 1,000 people makes a lot of trash, most of it from the kitchen. Left too long, it draws flies, rodents and in wildfire country, bears. Trash service keeps it moving: dumpsters at the kitchen and dining area, cans throughout camp, roll-offs for supply packaging and construction debris, and a pickup schedule that empties them before they overflow.
KDT places containers, runs the cans to the dumpsters with our janitorial crews, and schedules pickups to match your camp. In bear country we use bear-resistant containers and keep food waste locked down.
On wildfire, dumpsters are one of the high-demand items the local unit's Service and Supply Plan lines up commercial vendors for, and camp crews consolidate camp trash at the dumpster area.

Questions, answered.
Does KDT provide dumpsters and trash service for incidents?
Yes. We supply dumpsters, roll-offs and trash cans, place them in camp, and empty them on a set schedule through demob.
How often should camp trash be picked up?
Kitchen and dining dumpsters usually need daily pickup. Other areas depend on headcount. We adjust the schedule to keep containers from overflowing.
Do you have bear-resistant trash containers?
Yes. In bear country we use bear-resistant containers and keep food waste secured.
Can you haul hazardous waste too?
Hazardous waste is handled separately with proper packaging, manifests and transport. KDT provides that as its own service.
