Toter Trash Carts

Last Updated: February 12, 2021

Toter trash carts are coming to Harrisonburg in Spring 2021!  Your selection of either a 48- or 96-gallon trash cart will be delivered to residents' homes prior to the program's launch in Spring 2021.  Didn't make a selection?  Not to worry, you will receive one 96-gallon Toter trash cart.  We expect delivery of Toter's to serviced addresses in late March.

See a 96-gallon Toter trash cart at the Mobile Recycling Unit [1] or the Recycling Convenience Center [1] locations.  A 96-gallon Toter trash cart will be on-site for residents to check out and staff will be available to field questions. Come out and give a Toter trash cart a test pull. 

The new Toter trash cart program will offer a wide range of benefits, including:

  • Ease of use for citizens
  • Improved curb appeal on "trash day" by making sure everyone has a large, uniform trash cart instead of placing bags on the ground
  • Creating progress toward the City's Environmental Action Plan [2] goals
  • Increased employee safety by reducing the amount of lifting staff has to endure
  • Cleaner streets and stormwater systems (thanks to enclosed, lidded trash carts keeping debris out of the City road and stormwater ways)
  • Improved collection operations and efficiency
  • Enhanced COVID-19 safety

Stay tuned for more information about the Toter trash cart program, coming Spring 2021!
