Quick Tips

Reduce Contamination

Empty and rinse all containers. Keep plastic bags out of your blue cart. When in doubt, leave it out!

Use EPR Programs

Electronics, batteries, paint, and hazardous items have free drop-off programs. Never put these in carts!

Compost Everything

All food scraps, yard waste, and even food-soiled paper go in your green cart. Reduce what goes to landfill!
