Was there yard debris, bldg materials, electronics in your cart? If so, it needs to be removed and a request made for separate pickup. We do not have a set time of day for each street. Daily routes start at 7:00 a.m. and trash carts should be out at that time. Even if it seems the truck comes by at the same time of day, occasionally issues develop that cause a shift in schedules. A new employee or route alteration may have missed you by accident.Public Works - Environmental Services

Public Works no longer looks for lost trash carts. They are the responsibility of the owner. Serial numbers are not tracked. It's advised that cart owners write the cart serial numbers down for their records or write the address associated with the cart under the lid with permanent marker. Contact Public Works for cart replacement if lost or stolen.
