We have two compartments in our trucks


Don't be fooled by this optical illusion!
We hear from residents who think their green bin organic waste is being tossed into the same place in the collection truck as their regular garbage. Don't worry! What you may be unable to see from your window or porch is that the City's collection trucks have two compartments. Each compartment is distinctly separate from the other. Green bin material goes in one compartment, and garbage or recyclables go in a different compartment.
