  • Place cart at curb before 6:00 AM on your service day. Leave space between each cart and other obstacles like mailboxes.

  • Motor Oil should be placed next to the cart and in a clear plastic jug with a tight-fitting lid.

  • Clean, rinsed glass bottles and jars should be separated by color and taken to a recycling depot. Find your nearest location in the green ‘Local Recycling Facilities’ box below.
