Canton carts go on the road next to the curb or pavement edge so trucks can lift them, set out by 6:00 a.m. on collection day. Empty carts must be pulled back from the collection site before 8:00 a.m. the following day.
Cart placement is set by your city, not Stark County. Canton requires the cart to be placed on the road next to the curb or edge of pavement so it can be moved to the rear of the truck; nonbulky waste must be containerized or secured to prevent sewer blockage, traffic obstruction, littering, and animal harborage. Empty carts and cans must be removed from the collection site before 8:00 a.m. the day after collection so they do not clutter the street. Recyclables go in the provided recycling container placed at the same curb location.
Leaving carts out past 8:00 a.m. the day after collection, or blocking traffic, is a violation carrying a $25 fee added to the utility bill.
