When/how should I put my cart out?
Place your cart at the curb before 7 a.m. on your pickup day. Carts should be placed at least 3 feet away from the curb, 3 feet away from your garbage container and 3 feet away from objects such as cars, trees and mailboxes.
Once it’s emptied, return it to your garage or backyard storage area to keep it safe and clean.
