What are the benefits of using roll carts for the collection of trash and recycling?

There are numerous benefits:

  • Residents will not have to purchase their own trash containers because the carts will be provided by GFL (former WCA) at no additional cost to the residents.
  • Using a roll cart for recycling increases the capacity for recyclable commodities versus typical 18-gallon recycle bins.
  • Due to the recycling cart having wheels, it may be more convenient for residents to wheel the carts to the curb opposed to carrying an 18-gallon bin or, a container without wheels or, castors.
  • Carts have lids that help create neater and litter-free neighborhoods, increasing the aesthetic appeal and value of your community.
