# Can I use my own cart for my recycling?

If you are in an area that does not have carts provided, you are more than welcome to use your own container. If that is what you are choosing, please be sure to [let us know](https://ask.recyclops.com/kb-tickets/new?hsLang=en) the color and dimensions of your container so we can update notes on your account for pickup and send you Recyclops decals to place on your containers. 

If you are in an area where we provide carts for you, we kindly as that you stick with the cart that you were delivered.
