How to use your recycling roll cart:

Use only city-issued roll carts; no other carts, barrels or bins will be emptied.

To move the roll cart, make certain the lid is closed. Hold the handle and tip the cart back on its wheels before attempting to push or roll it.

Do not drag the roll cart or roll it with the lid open.

On slopes: push the roll cart when going downhill; pull the barrel when going uphill.

To clean the roll cart, use a garden hose to rinse. Cleanliness of the roll cart is the resident's responsibility.

Roll cart maintenance is covered by the city. For service call 214.670.4475.
