GR Cart Program

GRCarts!

Grand Rapids residents have a
choice in refuse cart service
 

Cart sizes:
35-gallon................($30 per quarter)
64-gallon............... ($40 per quarter)
96-gallon................($50 per quarter)

Cart Information:
*  Carts have wheels and a fixed lid

*  Carts are billed on a quarterly basis. There will be the option of paying for an entire year of service up front. No tags to buy.

*  No cart to buy. It is provided when a    resident signs up and makes their first    quarterly payment.

*  Our service is less expensive than our    competitors.

*  EASIER: They roll to the curb. No    dragging cans or bags.

*  CLEANER: No loose lids or debris.    Neighborhoods will look better.

*  THRIFTIER: No cans for you to buy    and GRCarts are less expensive for    the City to operate. Many    communities across the Michigan    (including Ann Arbor, East Lansing,    and Detroit) have found the automated    truck and cart combination has    improved trash service, significantly    reduced employee injuries, and saved    money.
