Each home receives three new carts, to be placed out at the curb on collection day. Customers deposit their trash in the gray 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.
