Each residential service address is provided with one set of three 95-gallon carts (blue, green and brown) for the purpose of waste disposal. Each cart color is designated for a certain type of material: blue cart - recyclable material, green cart - green waste, brown cart - trash. (Scroll down to learn more about what goes where.) All carts are the property of Republic Services.

Smaller Carts

Smaller carts with 35-gallon and 65-gallon capacities are available upon request based on the size of the household and demonstrated need.

Additional Carts

Residents may request one additional Recyclable Material (blue) cart and one additional Green Waste (green) cart for no additional charge. Residents may also request one additional Trash (brown) cart, subject to a one-time delivery and handling charge of $75. The additional cart(s) must be the same size as the other carts in use at the household. Residents must use their extra cart(s) on a regular basis. Unused extra carts must be returned to Republic Services.
