Need a Green Cart?
Wheeled green carts are provided for the storage and collection of organic waste such as food scraps, yard waste and soiled paper. Mini bins, paper bags and clear plastic bags are not acceptable for curbside collection. A cart must be used.
Carts issued by the municipalities have been tested on the cart lifting equipment and will not slip off while being emptied during curbside collection. This ensures driver safety. Carts purchased from retail stores are not accepted.
