Remember to have your cart at the curb by 6:30 a.m. Crews have until 6:00 p.m. to finish collection. Make sure your cart is at least three feet away from any objects such as another cart or a mailbox. Place your cart in your driveway or on the boulevard with the handle facing away from the street. Do not put carts in the street.

Have material loose in your cart, never in bags. Plastic bags are thrown in the trash unopened at the sorting facility. Material in paper bags can get stuck inside during compaction on the truck. Meaning it can't be successfully separated at the sorting facility.

The recycling program has expanded to include organics recycling. Organics include food scraps and non-recyclable papers such as napkins that are the largest portion of our trash and can be collected and composted. Organics will be collected weekly using a separate cart. Sign up on the city's website to have a cart dropped off and to begin organics recycling service.
