PICK UP DAY: Totes should be out on your scheduled pickup day by 7:00 AM until 8:00 PM. Totes are to be placed together at the end of the driveway as close to the street as possible. *Should there be a shared driveway, totes should be placed together in a cluster on one side of the driveway.

I've used Shirley Septic Pumping for many years and the rating is always the same: excellent! My call to the office requesting septic service was met with the usual kindness and professionalism.
