Cart Placement for Automated Service
Please place your container at the pickup location the night before your scheduled pickup day. We also suggest pulling it back to your property the same day it’s emptied. Place container with handles facing away from the street. Containers damaged through normal use will be repaired or replaced free of charge. Please bag all garbage.
Why it's important to bag all garbage:
- Reduces odors that invite insects, birds and animals
- Reduces littering
- Keeps trash containers cleaner
- Minimizes injury for waste collectors
Weekly - 90 gallon cart - Green with green lid
Monthly - 90 gallon cart – Green with black lid
