Recology CartSMART Project
Recology is the new weekly recycle and garbage collection service starting January 3, 2011.
Recology will replace Menlo Park residents' current recycling, yard trimmings and garbage carts
October 25‐November 2, 2010. Recycling and yard trimmings will be continued to be collected
every other week until January 3, 2011. Please no food scraps in the yard waste/compost cart
until January 3, 2011!
Once you have your new carts, Allied Waste of San Mateo County will have crews out to pick up your old cans, tubs
and carts for reuse or recycling. This includes your old yard trimmings carts (except if you purchased them directly
from Allied Waste) or you can choose to keep your recycling tubs and garbage cans that you purchased). If you do
want them taken away, simply place your recycling tubs empty and upside down next to your carts. Stickers will
be provided for you to place on your old garbage cans if you want them to be removed. You will receive
additional information and stickers with your new carts when they are delivered.
