Residence Cart Placement
Our new fleet of low-emission trucks powered by clean natural gas are equipped with a mechanical arm that lifts and empties specially-designed carts. These trucks require your carts to be placed correctly.
To ensure your trash is collected please follow these simple guidlines:
  • Please set carts out by 6:30 am on collection day
  • Make sure carts are at least one foot apart
  • Carts must be at least two feet away from obstructions like walls or parked cars
  • Do not place any trash on or beside carts
  • Excess trash placed next to or on top of cart will not be collected
  • Make sure that carts are not overfilled and lids are completely closed
  • Follow directions from Rainbow drivers if they leave a notice on your carts



Picture perfect cart placement!

  • Do not place any trash on top or beside cart.
  • Drivers will no longer get out of the truck
    to manually pick up trash or move your carts.
