Starting August 16, trash and recycling carts will need to be placed at the curb by 7 a.m. on collection days. You may also have up to seven bags, in addition to your cart, ready for pick up. Also, make sure your items are placed within five feet of the roadway without obstructing traffic flow for both vehicles and pedestrians.

On that same date, glass will no longer be accepted for recycling. This applies to both curbside and drop offs at the Lockhart Recycling Center. Instead, here are some ways you can dispose of glass safely:

• Wrap the item in duct tape, cloth, or an old newspaper to keep them from breaking during transit.
• If it’s broken glass, place it in a cardboard box or a container.
• Place glass items in your brown cart.
• Give them away to a friend or donate it to a charitable organization.
• Take them to the landfill.
