Residential materials must be placed at the curb before 7 a.m. of the curbside collection day, and no sooner than 24 hours before the pickup day. Recycling bins and carts are to be removed by noon the following day. Multi-family and business locations that are not required to place their recyclables at the curb for collection may have different collection days.
