Getting Trash Carts
All single-family residences are required to use a trash cart purchased from the city. This ensures compatibility with the automated trash trucks and provides a 10-year warranty for cart damages.
Two cart sizes are available:
- 96-gallon at $60 will hold up to 300 pounds
- 64-gallon at $58 will hold up to 224 pounds
- Three trash carts and one recycling cart
- Two trash carts and two recycling carts
If your cart needs replacement after the 10-year warranty ends, you will need to purchase a new cart from the city.

Carts must be placed with the rear wheels in the gutter.
Please allow access for the mechanical arm by placing carts:
