Resale home
Your garbage and recycling carts need to store two weeks' worth of waste. If you are moving/have moved into a resale home, please use your existing carts for few months to help you decide if they’re the right size.
Rented property
If you are a tenant moving into a rented property, please use the carts that are already at your new home.
