How Do Basketball Hoops & Mailboxes Affect Trash Collection?
Hoops and mailboxes effect trash collection in more ways than one!

BFI utilizes automated trucks, which have an “arm” that grabs the trash or recycling cart, lifts it from the ground and tips the contents of the cart into the truck. The “arm” then swings downward placing the cart back at your curbside. If a basketball hoop is anywhere near the collection process it can easily be damaged. So enjoy your game of hoops, just be sure the area surrounding your carts is clear of all obstructions on collection day. While your mailbox is not as mobile as a basketball hoop might be, it can still be an obstacle to a BFI truck.
