Lynn residents place city carts curbside by 7 AM on collection day and should store them off the street between pickups. Bagged trash is required, and carts must not overflow with lids propped open.
Lynn's automated collection issues each home a 64-gallon trash cart and a 96-gallon recycling cart. Carts go to the curb by 7 AM on collection day and should be retrieved and stored on your property, not left standing in the street or public way, between pickups. Lids must close fully; overfilled carts can be skipped, and extra trash requires official 33-gallon overflow bags ($3 each, $15 per five-pack) or a leased second cart. Bagging trash inside the cart is a city ordinance requirement. Carts left blocking sidewalks or the roadway can draw a code or obstruction complaint.
Overfilled or unbagged carts may go uncollected. Carts left obstructing the sidewalk or street between collections can draw a code-enforcement or obstruction complaint. Damaged carts are replaced free through DPW.
