Ensure your garbage cart and recycling are picked up correctly by following these tips:

  • Give carts and bins 4 feet of space between each other (approximately an arm's length)
  • Place the wheels against the curb and arrows towards the street
  • Leave 4 feet of space on all sides of the cart
  • Keep your cart away from obstructions such as parked cars, poles, and utility boxes
  • Ideally, place the carts on either side of your driveway
