Trash Carts/Containers

In order for the Trash Contractor to properly use the automated dumping system, the trash carts MUST BE:

  • Eight (8) feet from any obstacle (Poles, mail boxes, cars, etc.)
  • Within two feet of the curbside
  • Two feet from any other obstacle (Other trash cart, recycling bins, etc.)
  • Placed with the lid side facing the road, as noted on the top of the lid.

Each home has been assigned TWO BINS.  One for trash and one for recycle.  Each cart has a specific ID # on it.

  • These numbers have been recorded and trash will ONLY be picked-up if the numbers coincide with the appropriate addresses.
  • A homeowner may purchase ONE additional cart. Contact District Manager for price.
