Tips

  • Follow the 3 Foot Rule!
A car 3 feet away from a trash bin.
  1. Set out carts (wheeled carts, like your garbage can on wheels) by 7 a.m. on collection day. Remove carts from the curb/street the same day, after pickup.
  2. Break down cardboard before placing in recycling cart.
  3. Place dirt in the green garbage cart, not in the brown yard waste cart. Heavy material such as dirt, rocks, mortar, etc. should only fill 25% of the garbage cart to avoid breakage.
  4. Remember, the brown compost cart isn’t just for leaves and sticks – you can put vegetable scraps, coffee grounds and eggshells in there too!
