The city is going to a one-cart system for both refuse and recy clables and residents will get new trash bins this week. Traditional recycling has become ineffective and inefficient.

Each will have a se rial number assigned to an address. Amwaste will be responsible for repair ing and replacing carts. This week you should: • Expect cart delivery between May 3-7. • Have your cart out for collection by 5 a.m. on your normal service day. • Place your cart on the curb with the open ing pointing to the street. • Bag all garbage and place it inside the cart. • Be aware batter ies, hot ashes or coals, flammable or hazardous materials, paint and tires will not be collected.
