Collection Cart Sizes
The Streets Division provides the residents and business it services with one trash and one recycling cart.
Green carts are for recycling.
Tan carts for trash.
There are two cart sizes for refuse and recycling carts. Only the 65- and 95-gallon containers are available.
Cart dimensions
| Sizes | 35 Gallon | 65 Gallon | 95 Gallon |
|---|---|---|---|
| Height w/Lid | 39.13" | 40.58" | 45.13" |
| Width | 20.20" | 26.70" | 28.50" |
| Depth | 22.98" | 28.11" | 33.73" |
The 35-gallon cart is no longer available. The dimensions provided here are to help residents who currently have 35-gallon carts understand the dimensions and see that a 65-gallon cart does not take up much more space.
The serial number and how to tell current cart size
The serial number is located on the body of the cart on the front side that should face the street when out for collection. They are in large white numbers.
You can determine the size of your cart by looking at this number. The first two digits indicate the year in which the cart was made.
The third digit (or you can also see it as the first digit after the space) will be either a 3, 6, or 9.
That will tell you the size of your cart. A 3 indicates a 35-gallon cart, a 6 indicates a 65-gallon cart and a 9 indicates a 95-gallon cart.
