Our new sanitation collection provider, GFL Environmental Services, has begun to change out trash receptacles. For commercial dumpster services, green dumpsters will replace the blue Republic dumpsters. The new carts for residential services will be black, with recycling carts featuring yellow lids. Container servicing will transition from Republic to GFL on April 1st.

When you receive your new recycling and/or trash cart(s) from GFL, you may find it warped. This is due to how tightly they are packed in the trucks for shipping. To correct this issue, please set your cart in a sunny area with the lid closed. The sun will warm the plastic cart and lid and reset it to the proper shape.
