Richmond residents must use city-issued GFL poly carts for waste collection, place them curbside by 7 a.m. on collection day, and avoid overfilling.
Richmond's residential sanitation program, governed by the Public Works Department and contracted to GFL Environmental, requires use of issued poly carts for trash collection. Carts must be curbside by 7 a.m. with at least three feet of clearance from cars, mailboxes, fences, and other obstacles to allow automated truck collection. Lids must close completely; overfilled carts will not be serviced.
Carts placed late, overfilled, or with bags on top may be skipped during collection, and repeated violations may result in service warnings or fees.
