Ames residents living in single-family homes or multi-family units of four or less will be getting blue, 96-gallon recycling carts. Distribution is starting now and should be complete by Friday, June 12. Curbside recycling will begin July 1. Residents should have received a schedule for their every-other-week recycling pick-up day in a letter from Aspen Waste.
