Place your RECYCLING CART OUT BI-WEEKLY your regular collection day by 7 am!
Proper set out is important to ensure the mechanical arm can grab your cart efficiently. To ensure collection, place your cart:
- with arrows facing the street (handles towards your house)
- 2 feet apart from other cart or any other object
- within 8 feet from the travelled portion of the road
- with lids closed (do not overstuff - see below under overflow instructions)

- For occasional overflow recycling that does not fit in your cart, place material in blue boxes or clear bags (2 feet apart from cart or any other object)
- Old recycling bins can be repurposed for occasional overflow, to consolidate material before placing in your cart or used to contain yard waste, firewood, etc
