Wheeled Recycling Carts

The City is currently offering 64-gallon, wheeled recycling carts to schools, non-profits, and condos for long-term use for recycling collection programs. You would be responsible, however, for arranging pickup or transport of the recyclables to a Certified Redemption Center or recycling facility.

  • The wheeled cart’s dimensions are 42”H X 25”W X 30”D, with a weight of 35 lbs. empty.
  • The carts are decaled so you can collect aluminum, plastic, and glass containers in separate carts or commingle them in one cart.
  • The recycling carts must be kept secured. Damaged or stolen carts should be reported to the City’s Recycling Office at 768-3200.
  • You may request up to 30 wheeled, recycling carts for your ongoing fundraising program or up to 20 carts for a condo recycling program.
  • The carts can be picked up from the City facility during regular business hours -- call 768-3200 to arrange a time.
  • If you wish to return the carts to the City you will need to transport them to the nearest refuse collection yard.
  • Non-profit organizations and schools are responsible for coordinating the redemption of the deposit beverage containers collected and stored in the carts. Multi-family residential buildings are responsible for coordinating the pick-up and recycling of materials collected.
