Cart Supplier Change
Starting in 2025, the Town of Algoma is transitioning from pre-purchasing, storing, and supplying Toter-brand garbage and recycling carts (the brown and blue ones you see throughout most of the Town) to utilizing Harter’s cart service.
While Harter’s carts are not owned outright by residents, the one-time fee of $115 per cart covers the following:
- Delivery and assembly of the new cart(s)
- All maintenance, repairs, and replacements due to damage caused by Harter’s OR from normal wear and tear
- Removal and disposal of your old cart (if needed)
