Do I have to put both carts out each week?  No.  Residents do not have to put both carts out each week, however it is mandatory that all residents recycle.  Town Ordinance requires residents to separate recyclables and prohibits mixing of trash and recycling.  There is a video camera that is installed in the truck to view what is being dumped, and collection routes will be monitored to ensure all residents are recycling.  Penalties will be enforced for noncompliance as per Section 22-49 of Article II Solid Waste and Recyclable Materials.
