WHAT TO DO ON RECYCLING DAY: Carts should be at the curb by 6 a.m. on recycling day. The cart handles must face the house; the lid opening must face the street. Put the cart at curbside or within 3 feet of the traveled portion of the road. The cart should be at least 3 feet away from basketball hoops, trees, mailboxes and other containers. Place the cart 5 feet from cars. Allow 18 feet of space above the cart too, so the automated robotic "arm" on the collection truck has room to grasp the cart and operate most effectively. Do not block mailboxes. Please remove the empty cart from the curb as soon as possible. If you have questions about either of the curbside recycling programs, please call LeMays at 537-8687.
