Why are the carts so large?

The carts are large, particularly the recycling carts, to make recycling easier for residents, especially now that more materials are accepted for recycling. They are also the most common sized carts used for this type of program. The City recognizes that there are situations in certain segments of the community concerning aspects of the program. Staff has worked with Republic Services to develop alternatives for those with special circumstances.
