Waste Collection Do's and Don'ts 

 

Please follow these simple guidelines when placing your waste out for collection:
n      Do have your rollout container or bulk items out by 7:00 a.m.
n      Do keep bulk and metal items separated (they're picked up by a separate truck).
n      Do place the recycling container or any other items at least 5 feet from your rollout container.
n      Do keep yard waste separated from other collection items (it also must be cut and tied in 4-foot
       
lengths no larger than 18 inches in diameter).
n      Do not leave rollout at curb or alley after collection.
n      Do not overfill rollout (lid should be closed on rollout).
n      Do not place any hot items in rollout (e.g., ashes from fireplace).
n      Do not place rollout close to any obstruction (such as an automobile).
n      Do not put loose trash in rollout (wrap or bag all trash).
n      Do not have trash piled on or around rollout.
