Reliability

We show up. Rain, shine, or 4 a.m.

Missed pickups are the number-one complaint about the big haulers. It's the one thing we refuse to get wrong — and if we ever do, you reach a real person and we fix it the same or next day.

Backed by our Never-Miss Guarantee
The difference

Benefits the big haulers don't offer.

Never-Miss Guarantee

We show up every week — and if we ever miss, you reach a real person and we make it right, fast.

One flat price, no surprises

Fuel and standard fees are baked in. No surprise surcharges, no annual rate-hike letters.

Text or email when it's done

Get a completion alert when your pickup is done — so you never have to wonder.

Know where our crew is

Call or message and we'll tell you exactly where the crew is — how many stops away, or whether we've already hit your street.

Reach a real local person

Call us at and talk to someone here in the Triangle — not a national call center with a hold queue.

Hands-free Cart Valet

Want it fully done for you? Add valet service and we set your cart out and bring it back — you never touch it.

Our story

Born from a decade inside NC communities.

Southeast Aquatics Trash is the waste-collection side of Southeast Aquatics Group — the company that's built, renovated, and maintained pools and amenity centers for North Carolina neighborhoods for over ten years.

Wait — why “Aquatics”? Our roots are in pools. Working inside hundreds of HOAs and clubhouses, we kept seeing the same thing: overflowing bins, missed pickups, and haulers no one could reach. So we started our own trash company to fix it — same local team, same standards, now handling your trash too. (That's the shark's story, too.)

We're not a national brand with a call center three states away. We're your neighbors, and we treat every street like it's one we live on.

Better with neighbors

Get your street on board — everyone saves.

Get a few homes on the same street signed up and everyone saves. The more of your block that joins, the better the rate for all of you. Trash pickup is easier — and cheaper — when the neighborhood does it together.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions.

Our roots are in pools. Southeast Aquatics Trash grew out of Southeast Aquatics Group, which has maintained pools and amenity centers for North Carolina neighborhoods for over ten years. Working inside those communities, we kept seeing overflowing bins, missed pickups and haulers nobody could reach — so we started our own trash company to fix it. Same local team, same standards, now handling your trash too. (That's where the shark comes from, too.)

Residential weekly pickup starts at $50/mo for one cart, with your 96-gallon cart, fuel, and standard fees included. Use the plan builder above to see your exact price by cart count and billing cycle — a one-time $25 startup fee covers cart delivery. HOA and commercial properties get a custom proposal.

It's rare — but if it happens, our Never-Miss Guarantee means you reach a real person and we come back to make it right, fast. No week-long wait, no runaround.

Yes. You'll get a completion alert by text or email when your pickup is done. And if you ever want to know where we are, we can tell you how many stops away our crew is — or that we've already hit your street.

Cart valet is our hands-free valet option. For an extra $25/mo, we come to your property, set your cart out on pickup day, and return it after — you never touch it. It's popular with seniors, busy families, and communities.

No. The price you see is the price you pay, with fuel and standard fees already included — no surprise environmental fees and no annual surcharge letters. And you're never locked in long-term — cancel anytime. We'd rather earn your business each week.

We serve Wake, Durham, Orange, Johnston, Franklin & Harnett Counties, and we're still expanding. Not sure if we reach your street? Just give us a call and we'll confirm in seconds.
