The City of Melbourne is implementing a new cart collection system beginning in October 2010. Two wheeled carts will be delivered to homeowners, with one 96 gallon cart to be dedicated to garbage and the other 64 gallon cart for ALL materials to be recycled. Customers have the option of requesting a 64 gallon cart for their garbage if they put in a request in advance.
Customers will use any container that they previously used for their yard trash. The old recycling bins may either be kept or may be put into the new recycling cart for disposal.
Pickup schedules will also be modified with this information being provided to customers when the new carts are delivered.
The City of Melbourne may be contacted at 727-2900 for further information or their website may be accessed at www.melbourneflorida.org.
