The 96-gallon cart holds approximately 6-7 standard 13-gallon tall kitchen trash bags. Most households find this sufficient for a week's worth of non-recyclable waste. If you regularly exceed this amount, consider adding a second cart to your service or exploring our temporary dumpster options for cleanouts and bulky items.

Proper recycling preparation helps keep our sorting facilities running smoothly: Empty and rinse all containers to remove residue Remove and discard plastic caps and lids (metal lids can be recycled) Flatten cardboard boxes and paperboard Keep paper dry and free of food stains Place items loosely in the cart (no bagged or bundled recyclables) Ensure the cart lid fully closes to prevent rain and pest intrusion When in doubt about an item's recyclability, check our blog "What Can Go in Your Recycling Can" or give us a call.
