Each home receives three new carts, to be placed out at the curb on collection day. Customers deposit their trash in the brown cart, recyclables in the blue cart and green waste in the green cart. All carts are picked up EVERY WEEK.
Each cart is serviced separately, at different times of the day. Please be sure that your carts have been emptied before removing them from the curb.
| United Pacific Waste offers its residential
customers a new and improved waste collection and recycling
program.
The
new program will help
to reduce, reuse and recycle. |

Allow two feet between each cart lined up side by side. The carts must be at the curbside before 6 a.m. on your collection day.
