Service Details

Any City of Plymouth resident or business may opt-in to the automated trash and recycling collection program. The program utilizes 95 and/or 65-gallon carts on wheels. 

On November 4, 2024, the City Commission authorized a new contract with our waste hauler, Priority Waste. As part of the new solid waste service, the City Commission authorized the purchase of new automated trash and recycling carts.

Municipal Services will replace your current trash and recycling carts with new cart(s). City of Plymouth residents and/or business owners need to request either a new 95-gallon cart or 65-gallon cart for either trash and recycling or both. To help us with that, please fill out the form to indicate what size and quantity of the automated trash/recycle carts you want for your address.

The carts are strong and sturdy and include a lid to reduce odors and to keep critters out.  The carts are emptied by a truck equipped with an automated articulating arm, so the driver never has to get out of the cab.  For this reason, all trash and recycling items must be placed within the confines of the carts.  Any items outside or on top of the cart are not guaranteed to be picked up.  Hazardous materials, liquids, concrete, and compost including dirt and sod may not be placed in automated trash or recycling carts.

Information about what materials may be placed in your recycling cart can be found using this link: Acceptable Recyclable Material
