Option 3: Use the “R”.  Large R stickers are free of charge.  Apply the sticker to the lid of your current city-issued Trash cart.  On your regularly scheduled recycling collection day, you may use this trash cart with the "R" sticker on top.  The collector   will recognize the "R" and it will be picked up as recycling and not trash (please make sure there are only recycling materials in the cart at that time).
