Simple service. Clear expectations.
What is included?
One visit after your regular weekly collection, returning emptied bins to your designated accessible outdoor spot within 75 feet of the curb, on a level path. Home Return covers up to 3 bins; Plus covers up to 5. You or your waste provider place the bins at the curb. Bin washing, waste removal, stairs and entering a home or garage are not included.
What if collection is late or access is blocked?
The driver records unemptied, missing or inaccessible bins as an exception instead of marking them returned. We review the exception and coordinate a return visit when feasible. Holiday collection shifts are handled by dispatch. Same-day completion cannot be guaranteed when collection is delayed. If BayForge misses its scheduled service, contact us for a make-up visit or a proportionate credit.
How does billing and cancellation work?
Address approval comes first. Your subscription begins when you complete Stripe Checkout and renews monthly at $29 or $39 according to your plan, until canceled. No setup fee or minimum term. Cancel future renewals through My service → Manage billing; service continues through the paid billing period when cancellation is set for period end. Partial-month refunds are reviewed individually. Contact bayforgeservices@gmail.com for billing help or a cancellation request.
What information do you keep?
BayForge stores your account email, contact information, service address, return instructions, collection schedule, billing references and completion history to provide the service. Authorized dispatchers and assigned drivers see the information needed for their work. Stripe processes card details; BayForge does not store card numbers. Contact bayforgeservices@gmail.com for corrections or deletion requests; records may be retained where needed for billing disputes or legal obligations. This site uses essential account and session functions and does not add advertising trackers.
Will my address be covered?
We review route density, collection timing and safe access for each address. A listed city does not guarantee immediate service. You will not be billed until your address is approved and you activate your plan.
