Trash, recyclables and green waste carts

We’ll provide you with three carts – trash (a gray cart), recyclables (blue) and green waste (green). See our sorting guide below to understand which household waste belongs in which cart.


Preparing carts for collection

On collection day, full carts should be out at the curb by 6 am:

• Cart handles should face toward your home

• Cart wheels should be against the curb

• Cart lids should be tightly closed

• Carts should be at least three feet away from any obstruction (such as your car, mailbox or fence)

• There should be at least two feet between each cart, and please line them up side by side

• Please only place full carts out for collection

Remember, we collect the carts at different times on collection day, so make sure your cart is empty before returning it. 

If you need additional carts, or your cart has been damaged, please contact us. In many situations we’ll replace the damaged cart for free.
