Not Sure You Need the Cart?

We encourage you to keep the cart and try recycling for a few weeks. Many households find that recycling is easier than expected and helps reduce the amount of trash they throw away.

Because cart deliveries are taking place across multiple communities, removal may not be available immediately. If you still do not wish to keep the cart after trying the service, contact your local Apex office for assistance.
