Cart Size Selection Form

If your household is scheduled to receive carts this fall (view map), choose the size of your blue recyclables cart and grey garbage cart from the four options below.

Think about:

  • how many bags of recyclables and garbage your household places at the curb every two weeks and year-round; factor in holidays, celebrations and guests

  • the amount of storage space needed for the size of carts you’re considering

Most households will choose the extra large blue cart and the large grey cart. The City will deliver
these sizes to your home unless you specify alternate sizes.
