Recology of the Coast is working with the community to iron out any wrinkles in the cart delivery. We will have smaller carts available June 1. We ask our customers to work with the carts they have received and if after 30 days the carts still do not meet their needs, an exchange can be facilitated by calling our offices at 650-355-9000 or emailing me at RECOLOGY (click this link or go into your email and type in cporter@recology.com). The carts have very sturdy lids and are constructed to make tipping over difficult (bungee cards can help secure the lids against raccoons). Food waste can be put into brown paper bags, but plastic bags cannot be used in the greenwaste/organics cart. Pet waste goes in the regular trash can. Notices will be mailed later this summer for your choice of a new wheeled garbage can. The sizes available will be 20, 32, 48, or 64 gallons. A reminder to all customers: The new programs begin the WEEK OF MAY 3 ON YOUR REGULAR GARBAGE PICKUP DAY. The 64-gallon greenwaste/organics toter will then begin a WEEKLY pickup schedule along with your regular garbage can. The 96-gallon recycling toter will then be picked up EVERY OTHER WEEK with your other two containers. Don't know what week to put out your recycling? Use your old greenwaste schedule to pinpoint which week is now recycling pickup or check our website at RECOLOGY OF THE COAST for a very user-friendly calendar and street listing schedule. The April 28 Pacifica Tribune features a full-page ad listing all Pacifica streets and calendars for May through July 2010, showing exact pickup dates. If you still have a question, please call me at 650-355-9000 or email me at RECOLOGY (click this link or go into your email and type cporter@recology.com).
