Where should I place my trash and recycling containers for collection?

Republic recommends that garbage and recycling containers be placed at the curb in front of the residence at a distance no greater than 7 feet from the curb. For recycling, place the recycling cart facing the street, with the wheels touching the curb. Due to the involvement of automated machinery, carts must be within 3 feet of the street, 3 feet away from mailboxes and 5 feet away from vehicles for the Republic Services trucks to safely collect the carts.
