What Happens During Curbside Trash Collection?
Place your cart at the curb the night before your scheduled day, handles facing your home, with 3 feet of clearance on each side.
Our curbside trash collection truck arrives and an automated arm empties your cart. Clearance ensures the arm gets a clean grab.
Once emptied, your cart is returned to the curb and ready for the next curbside trash pickup cycle.

What Happens After Curbside Trash Pickup?
Once your trash is collected, it's transported to a transfer station or landfill for processing. Recycling and curbside yard waste collection, where available, are processed differently, this is why sorting matters, even though everything technically leaves your curb on the same truck day.
