IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING GREEN CART DELIVERY TO NEW PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS: The Solid Waste Section will deliver green carts to new program participants in the order that the Green Cart Program registrations are received. If you are eager to obtain your green cart and would rather not wait for it to be delivered by City staff, you have the option of picking up your green cart directly from the landfill site during the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday to Friday. When doing so, please utilize the parking lot on the west side of the main building and enter through the south door – the administrative assistant will be happy to issue your green cart and record its serial number for our records.
