Recycling Carts

How do I get a cart?

You can order a recycling cart by calling TTSD at (530) 583-7800. There are two options to receive your cart: delivery (fees apply), or make a reservation for one of the FREE pickup days in spring and summer.

When is my cart serviced?

Carts are serviced every-other-week on your regular trash day. Please have carts out by 6 am on your collection day. Never miss a pick-up: visit the Collection Schedule page to download a calendar or sign up for weekly e-mail reminders.

How do I use my cart?

Place recyclable items directly into the cart – don’t bag your recyclables if you’re using a cart! Scrape out food and pour out liquids from all recyclable containers first. Make sure that the lid can fully close; larger items like cardboard may need to be cut into smaller pieces to fit.

How do I set out my cart for collection?

Carts should be wheeled to the street, 3 feet apart from other objects, with handles facing away from the street center. Place your cart curbside by 6:00 a.m. on your service day, every other week. Remember to keep your cart behind the snow pole line in winter to avoid interfering with snow removal operations.

After service, remove the cart from the street. Carts cannot be left in the town’s right-of-way.

Are you unable to roll back your cart after each service?

TTSD will roll your cart in and out on your service day with a paid subscription. Contact TTSD directly to set up by calling 530-583-7800.

Can I still use blue bags?

YES! Blue bags are still accepted. Note however that blue bags are not accepted inside your cart. Please place blue bags next to your trash can and recycling cart.
