Yes, you are responsible to maintain the cart in good condition. All Service Refuse will only repair or replace

The 64 Gallon Rollout Cart
These carts can be filled with accepted
recyclable materials only and not used for trash. When putting the cart out for collection, the lid should
always be in the closed position to protect from rain or other contamination.
-
Proper Placement
The cart should be placed within two feet (2’) of the edge of road. The front of the cart (side with bar)
must be facing the road so that the mechanical arm of the truck can attach to the bar.
-
Improper Placement
It is important that the carts be placed curbside properly. The driver will not exit the collection truck to
make carts accessible for collection. To that end, if they are not placed correctly, they will not be collected.
