Recycle Right and Say NO to Contaminants!

If one or more of your carts are identified as overloaded, or trash is mixed with recycling or green waste resulting in contamination, you will receive a "Notice of Non-Collection"  and your cart will not be serviced. Residents will be required to remove trash out of recycling and green waste carts, and/or offload the overfilled material and place the carts out for collection on the following week. If a cart is tagged for non-collection on three or more occasions during a 12-month consecutive period due to overfilling or contamination your service may be automatically changed to a larger cart size and your monthly bill will be adjusted.
