Just curious for those already in the City of Brandon's Green Cart program- how long did it take to get the cart delivered after signing up?  
 
We're coming on to 2 weeks since we signed up, with 2 garbage days come and gone, and still no sign of a green bin for us.  
 
Couldn't find anything on the City's website regarding estimated time for delivery but was hoping it would be sooner so we could so something with the piles of yard waste taking up space in our yard.  
 
Thought I'd check on here before calling the City in case it usually takes over 2 weeks for delivery- I had just assumed there would have been some kind of communication from the City after signing up and have received nothing to date.

I ordered 1 over 2 weeks ago and still no sign of it. No email or calls either. Just for kicks last night I requested again. Would at least appreciate some communication from the city to confirm my request.

Ordered mine last year at the very end of September and it showed up on my front lawn like 4 days later maybe?

took 3 or 4 weeks  
signed up online, got no confirmation no communication nothin. waited couple weeks, then called the phone number and ordered again, and then another week or so passed before it showed up.  
Figured they would include some information about what can go in and what can't. nothin.. no info at all just the green bin.  
 
so now I have to go and research what I can and can not put in the green bin. how hard would it be to include a one page of information, and thank you note for becoming part of the solution.

Mine only took a few days....3 or 4 when I ordered mine. It was a few weeks ago but i wonder if the demand has increased or something.
