DUAL CARTED PICK-UP SYSTEM FOR

Trash & Recycling

All Properties Receive Recepticals Based On Occupants
‍
Thorp uses a dual carted pick-up system with black carts used for trash and green carts used for recycling only. Carts need 4-foot spacing between receptacles and other physical objects to reduce the potential for damage to property while providing a more natural pick-up process by the collection staff.

Contact GFL if you require additional trash receptacles or a large metal container. Preparation for construction projects is your responsibility to help keep Thorp clean for you and your neighbor’s benefit.
