 Curbside Trash Pickup Toter Tips


  • Place your cart a the curb for collection with the arrow on the lid pointing towards the street.
  • Do not overload the cart*.  Any trash or recycle toters that are overstuffed in any manner will not be emptied.  Lids must be completely closed.
  • Keep the cart lid closed when your toter is not in use.
  • Do not store your cart near a furnace, fireplace, grill, or other heat source.
  • Clean your cart out periodically with water.  Afterwords, be sure to empty all water from the bottom of the container and allow to dry.
*Yellow City pas-as-you-throw bags to dispose of extra trash may be purchased and placed curbside.

*If you have excess trash and/or recyclables, you may obtain a transfer station sticker to dispose of the overflow.
