Damaged or Missing Carts, Containers and Bins
Damage from Normal Wear and Tear
Occasionally a cart, container or recycling bin may be damaged through normal use, wear and tear. Examples are broken lid hinges, and wheels coming off of carts. When this happens, contact us at (405) 359-4541. The carts, containers and bins are repaired at no cost to you.
Damage from Neglect or Improper Care
You will be asked to pay for the replacement of carts, containers or bins if they have been neglected or proper care has not been taken of them. Examples are carts melted with hot fireplace ashes or run over by a car.
If You Move, Leave Your Cart
Carts and containers are assigned to specific addresses by inventory control numbers. If you move, leave your cart and container for the next resident to use.
If You Find A Cart Or Recycling Bin
Contact Solid Waste Services if your cart, container or bin is missing or if you find a cart, container or bin that does not belong to you.
Normally, missing carts are found and returned to their assigned addresses.
Stolen Carts or Bins
If you think your cart or bin has been stolen, call Edmond Police at 359-4420. Edmond Solid Waste does assist customers in relocating lost carts on the next collection day when carts are customarily placed back at the curb. Carts that are not found will be replaced by Edmond Solid Waste after they have been reported to Edmond Police or customers may purchase the cart replacement at $52.00 each.
It may take us four to five working days to deliver or repair a cart. During the interim, you can use City-Coded bags. Please hold your recycling materials until you receive your bin.
