Position Your Solid Waste and Recycling Carts Properly

Did you know that the way you position your solid waste or recycling carts affects the speed and cost of collection? Use of the rollout carts allows the Hillsborough Public Works Department to operate the solid waste collection truck with one employee. When carts are positioned correctly, the employee is able to remain in the vehicle and to easily use the truck’s arm to lift and empty the cart. This results in faster collection that later frees the employee for other Public Works services.
