Automated Curbside Collection
Auburn residents: Your curbside collection is getting easier! Residential curbside trash and recycling are now picked up by automated, split-body, side-load trucks!
CARTS:
Qualifying residential properties have received two new 64-gallon wheeled carts, one for trash and one for recycling. These carts are included with your service. Colored lids help keep items clean and dry and distinguish trash from recycling.
CART DIMENSIONS:
You MUST use the carts provided and you cannot get any additional carts.
* All trash must be inside of the cart with the lid closed. We will no longer collect any material left outside of the cart!
CART PLACEMENT:
You must allow at least 1 to 3 ft of space between your trash and recycling carts to ensure the arm can grab the cart without knocking the other cart over. Allow at least 3-5 ft of space from any fixed object (mailbox, telephone pole, fence, parked vehicle) so there is no risk of damage.
Always ensure the front of the cart is facing towards the street for collection.
* Carts must stay upright for collection.
* Do not place carts back to back.
YOUR COLLECTION DAY:
While the TIME OF DAY when you trash is collected very well might change (due to the more efficient collection process), at this time, there are no changes to the scheduled route days. Should any adjustments be necessary in the future to enhance efficiency, both the City of Auburn and Casella will ensure residents are notified in advance.
