CARTS
- Trash and recycling carts are standardized to comply with Summit's requirements, improve service, reduce litter, and create a more unified appearance.
- Personal carts are not emptied.
- Town-owned carts are provided free of charge to residents. Each property is provided with a single large, 96-gallon cart for their trash.
- The carts are Town property and should not be moved without the written permission of the Town.
- Households that request smaller carts will be provided smaller carts (three sizes are offered.)
HOW TO
- Please have your carts out by 7am on Trash/Recycling/Compost days.
- Trash should be contained in secured bags. If you regularly have more trash than fits securely in a single 96-gallon cart, please let the Town know so that you can be provided another cart.
- If you only occasionally have more trash than fits securely in a single 96-gallon cart, please use the Summit-branded bags for your overflow trash and place it beside your cart in the alley.
- You can obtain more of the Summit-branded blue bags by reaching out to Public Works or Town Hall. These bags are free to residents, although the Town pays a fee for them.
- For large or additional item pick-ups (that do not fit into bags), please call Summit directly at (303) 500-1422, and select Otion 1. The representative will take your payment over the phone.
