To avoid disruption in service, carts MUST be curbside by 6 a.m. on your scheduled pick up day. Carts are required to be at least two (2) feet apart and lids completely shut for collection. 

Plastic bags CANNOT be placed in the recycle cart. Plastic bags catch in the recycle machines and cause serious damage. Select stores accept plastic bags to be recycled; otherwise they belong in the trash!
