How to Properly Place Your Trash Cart
together, and carts are placed away from the mailbox.
We’ve created this simple guide to properly place your garbage cart at the curb
for pick up. Taking out the trash each week is simple. But, there are a few best
practices to ensure your waste and recycling is efficiently removed each
week. It’s our goal to accurately serve your home each week. A missed service
pick up during the day can be frustrating for homeowners. This guide to container
placement will ensure your containers are ready each service day.
Most garbage service includes a 96 gallon wheeled cart. Many households also
have a recycling cart or yard waste cart as part of their weekly service. These
wheeled carts make it easy to bring waste, recycling, and heavy yard waste to
the curb each week. These big carts hold larger volumes of material than the
smaller trash cans of the past. These large carts can be quite heavy and are built
to be lifted with a mechanical arm or “helper arms” attached to the garbage truck.
Proper cart placement on pick up day becomes essential when mechanical
helpers are used.
Cart Placement Guidelines
- Place your cart at the curb the night before your service day or by 6 am on your service day.
- Place cart within two feet of the curb.
- Avoid placing the cart near low hanging tree branches.
- Place the cart at least two feet away from permanent structures like mailboxes, walls, lamp posts, utility boxes, vehicles, etc.
- Place your cart two feet from other carts.
- Place your cart on a level surface prior to pick up.
- Make sure nothing is in between your cart and the street.
- A good place for your cart is in the driveway.
- When at the curb, cart wheels should be closest to the house.
