Proper Cart Placement

A red car is sitting next to a trash can.

Managing waste effectively is crucial for maintaining a clean and healthy environment. Please follow these guidelines:


  • Have your cart(s) at the curb the night before your scheduled pick-up day.
  • Face the lid opening toward the street - handle toward the house.
  • Leave 3 feet between each cart or place the cart(s) on each side of your driveway.
  • During winter months, please keep your cart(s) clean of snow or other obstructions and place them at the end of the driveway or boulevard so snow trucks won't run into them.
