• Trash carts and recycling carts or bins should be placed within three feet of the curb or the edge of the street and at least three feet away from any obstacles, preferably on the opposite side of the driveway from the mailbox.
• The trash cart lid opening should face the street.

• Use the approved solid waste cart provided by your hauler.
• Place trash inside the cart with the lid closed – overflow won't be collected.
• You may contact your hauler for another cart for an additional charge.

• Rinse cans, bottles, and containers before placing them in the recycling bin.
• Place loose, acceptable materials in the recycling cart or bin. Items must not be bagged.
• Break down cardboard boxes and place in the container. Remove plastic, foam, or trash from the boxes.
• If the recycling cart or bin is full, you may request an additional container from your hauler.
• Haulers cannot collect recyclables placed in plastic bags outside the container. To find which retailers accept plastic bags for recycling, use the recycling directory.
