A good tip is to place the containers, which are on the cottage's driveway, on the curbside Thursday night. There are 3 carts: household garbage; greens organics; and recyclables. Tips from the city of Berkeley site: City Refuse Service is provided once a week for every residence. Curbside service is mandatory. Carts must be at the curb by 7:00 a.m. on your collection day. Refuse containers must be removed from the curb within 24 hours of being placed there for collection. Container lids must close completely. Extra garbage at residential locations must be in special pre-paid refuse bags. Place only normal household garbage in the refuse containers. Place only plant debris, food waste, and food-soiled paper in the green organics cart. Please, no rocks or dirt or garbage. Cart Set-Out Requirements: Place your carts curbside in the gutter with the wheels against the curb or in the gutter in front of your driveway. Carts should be at least one foot (1') apart, and at least three feet (3') from parked vehicles. If your collection day is also street sweeping day, please place carts on the parking strip. The carts must be placed so that they do not obstruct the right-of-way to traffic or the sidewalk. If the driver is unable to service your carts due to improper or blocked placement, a "special pickup and charge" will apply to return and service your carts.
