Pocatello Garbage Autocart Guidelines

Proper Cart Usage

Bag trash to reduce litter.
Place carts at the curb, not on the sidewalk, by 7 a.m. on collection day with the hinges facing your home.
Place carts 3-5 feet from other carts, parked vehicles, mailboxes, and other obstacles.
Remove your cart from the curb and return it to your storage area on the same day it is emptied.

Do not use any container, other than city-provided carts, for refuse collection. Garbage cans, boxes, and other receptacles will not be picked up.
Do not overfill your cart. The lid must be closed in order for your cart to be emptied.
Do not put hot ashes, cinders, coals, or any other burning material in your cart.
Do not put rocks, building materials, or toxic and hazardous material in your cart.
Do not block the sidewalk with your cart.
Do not leave your cart at the curb after it is emptied.
Do not block access to your cart with your car.
Do not take the cart with you when you move.
