Service Guidelines

• Have your orange top 96-gal. poly cart(s) curbside and ready for collection by 7 a.m. on your collection day. You may place your carts out as early as 6 p.m. the day prior to pick-up.
• Place poly cart(s) at least three feet apart from other carts, mailboxes, vehicles, utility meters, poles, fences, etc.
• All trash must be inside the poly cart with the lid closed. Items outside of the cart will not be collected.
• All contents should be bagged with the cart lid closed to prevent spillage.
• CARDS sends out different trucks for each type of pickup. Pick-up service may not be completed until 7 p.m.
