Trash tags will renew each calendar year similar to how a resident parking sticker works. *** Can I still use bins or barrels I already own? Yes. We encourage residents to continue using carts/barrels they already own for overflow recycling and trash.However, please keep two important things in mind. If you are using them for trash, you must continue to use blue bags.Only the City-issued black carts will qualify for a Trash Tag. If you are using them for recycling, please be sure to affix a "Mixed Recycling" bumper sticker to the side to let JRM know what's inside and we also ask that they have a lid on them to prevent trash or recycling from blowing around as litter. *** ~ Legal Notice ~ INVITATION FOR BID CITY OF MALDEN - OFFICE OF THE CONTROLLER The City of Malden invites sealed bids in accordance with M.G.L.
