More about What is Curbside Collection?

Curbside collection programs make recycling and waste disposal more convenient by allowing residents to place approved bins or carts at the edge of their property for scheduled pickup. These programs typically include separate containers for recyclables, organics, and trash, depending on local systems. Effective curbside collection supports waste diversion goals and increases recycling participation rates in communities.
