Place your blue recycling cart at the curb by 7 a.m. on your scheduled recycling day.

Place the cart within 3 feet of the street and at least 5 feet from mailboxes, parked cars, garbage cart or other obstacles. The wheels must face your home.

Do not overfill your cart. If items in the cart are not loose, they can get stuck inside the cart and prevent whatever is underneath from being emptied. Do not stack items on top of or alongside your recycling cart. They can't and won't be collected.

Do not place your recyclables inside plastic bags. Plastic bags damage the equipment at the recycling facility.
