Buying or Selling a House?
- Remember, the mini-bin and green cart are assigned to the property - they stay even if you move. Ask your real estate to include this as a condition in the purchase & sale agreement. Be sure to inspect the bins to ensure they are undamaged.
- If your property was never assigned a cart or if it requires repairs, please call 490-4000.
