Summary

Carts are assigned by serial # to the address and must stay at the property. If you would like to know what serial numbers are assigned to your property, please call our office, 608-789-7508. 

Carts are provided to newly built residential properties at no cost. There is a service fee of $25 to exchange carts for a different size.

Carts have a ten (10) year warranty from the manufacturer. If they lose a wheel, or the lid comes off, or other ‘normal’ repair, the cart will be repaired or exchanged by the hauler. There is no cost to the resident for maintenance repair. If cart is damaged beyond repair, there would be a replacement fee for another cart. The City contractor, Harter’s Quick Clean-Up, should be contacted so they can assess the damage and make that decision. You can reach them at 608-782-2082. In addition, any permanent markings on the cart would be considered graffiti and the property owner would be billed accordingly.
