How To / Cart Details
On your collection day, set the recycling cart at the curb or alley-wherever your trash cart is picked up.
Carts need to be put out no later than 6 am on your collection day. They may be put out as early as 3 pm the day before.
- Ensure your cart lid is closed and your recycling cart is positioned three feet away from your trash cart.
- Do not put needles, hazardous waste, yard, or electronic waste inside your cart.
Be sure the cart is not blocked by cars, snow, or mailboxes and is at least three feet away from other carts.
After pickup, move the recycling cart from the curb or alley within 24 hours. Place them in your garage or alongside your house or garage. They cannot be in the front or back of your house or block sidewalks or alleyways.
