Here are a few reminders to make your trash collection day as efficient as possible:
Trash carts should be placed out for collection before 6 a.m. on collection days, but no earlier than 6 p.m. the day before collection day.
- The wheels of the cart should touch the curb face. A minimum of 12” between the carts is required to allow them to be collected.
- Trash carts need to be stored away from public view as soon as possible after collection, and no later than 9 p.m. the day of collection.
- Carts should be stored in a garage, trash enclosure, or in the side yard and away from public view.
- When washing out a trash, recycling, or green waste cart, wash and rinse the cart on the grass. Do not allow the waste water to be discharged to the gutter. Discharging waste water to the gutter will allow the pollution to be carried through the storm drain system to the ocean and protected wetlands.
