Are there any special preparation procedures for garbage, recyclables, yard waste and bulky items?
Yes. A detailed list of collection guidelines for each service will be attached to your cart when it is delivered. Please be sure to review this information to ensure that you receive collection each week. Generally speaking your garbage, recyclables, yard waste and bulky items should not be blocked by cars or other objects, including mailboxes and each other. We utilize automated collection vehicles to provide garbage service to your home. This requires us to lift your garbage cart with a mechanical arm. Anything object (s) that block your cart, including your recycling bin, can be damaged during collection. To prevent service delays and damage to personal and public property, please: DO NOT Place rollout carts near mailboxes (allow three feet in between) Put basketball goals at curbs Park on the street on collection days You can also view an item preparation video on Solid Waste Services website.
