Delivery of New Curbside Recycling Cart Begins
Door-to-door delivery of the new curbside recycling carts began Friday, November 14th with the first 3,000 carts getting distributed. Those with Monday garbage pickup were the first to receive carts, starting with the Coffee Bluff area Friday.
The 96-gallon, black and yellow recycling carts are our citizens' connection to Savannah's state-of-the-art curbside system, called "single-stream recycling." Single-stream recycling, a new technology, is the most user-friendly of all recycling systems. It allows residents to drop a variety of recyclables -- plastic and glass bottles, metal cans, paper and cardboard — into one recycling container, with no sorting required.
Cart delivery to all 48,000 households in Savannah is expected to take about a month. Curbside recycling collection, which will occur twice a month, will begin the week of Jan. 5, 2009.
