If, on collection day, you have noticed excess capacity in your gray landfill cart that would allow you to decrease your service level, please contact us.
These guidelines may help you determine whether you can decrease the size of your gray landfill cart. Always check the fullness of your landfill cart after all waste has been placed in it the night before your regularly scheduled collection day.
To determine the size of any of your carts, please note the first two digits stamped onto the side of the cart. These two digits indicate the capacity, in gallons, of your cart.
