separate bags or cans next to your trash cart. The weight limit for each Waste Management cart is 200
pounds. The weight limit for separate cans or paper/plastic bags is 50 pounds. Waste Management will
NOT pick up separate cans or bags if they weigh more than 50 pounds.
Use the green cart with the green lid for trash. The trash will be picked once a week. Place your trash
cart at the curb by 6 am the day of collection. After collection, all carts should be removed from the
curb no later than the evening of your collection. Everything below should be put into your trash cart.
