Curbside Recycling Collection

• Waste Pro uses an Automated Side Loading (ASL) truck to collect curbside recycling. This system requires the use of 65-gallon containers and specific placement of your recycling container at the curb for collection.
• Only contents of the container will be collected; residents will no longer be able to leave cardboard next to the container.
• The recycling container must be placed at least 3 feet away from other objects (household garbage container, mailbox, etc.).
• The container lid must be closed to be collected.

Curbside Recycling Collection Cart Placement

We need your help to serve you better and to improve collection efficiency!

Step 1:

Place all items inside the cart, close the lid completely and safely ROLL the cart to the edge of the curbside.

Step 2:

PLACE the cart at the edge of the curbside with the wheels and handle facing the house and the lid opening toward the street.

Step 3: 

Make sure there is nothing in front of the cart and at least 3 feet of SPACE or clearance on all other sides.
