Recycling Carts
Your recycling is commingled; you can place all items together in your container, they do not need to be sorted. Place set your cart out by 6:30am on collection day and ensure that the wheels are pointing towards your house (away from the street). The cart should be approximately 1 foot from the curb and at least 3 feet from any other obstructions such as your refuse cart, mailbox, trees, poles, etc. Please do not use bungee cords to secure the lid. If you are unsure as to where your cart should be placed, try to take note of it's position after it has been serviced and place it in that same position each week.
