Mission Trail Waste Systems Proudly Presents...
Simple Setout! Please start using your new recycling cart immediately!
Recyclables may now be mixed together in one cart that is serviced EVERY week!
Remember to place cart out prior to 6am on your service day. Cart must be placed at the front of your property with wheels facing your home. Take care not to place cart too close to obstacles such as parked cars, fire hydrants, and low-hanging tree branches. If possible, leave 2 feet of space on either side of your cart to allow the automated truck arm enough room to operate.
Also, don’t forget... • Do not overload your cart—make sure the lid fully closes. • Avoid tightly wedging or compacting materials inside your cart. is will help ensure that all materials get emptied. • Before placing shredded paper in the recycling cart, please contain it inside a paper bag and seal with a staple.
