- All trash must be contained within collection bin in order for it to be collected. Do not place yard & brush trimmings, ashes, construction debris, rocks, dirt, shingles, or concrete in your container, as these materials are too heavy to be lifted by the collection equipment.
- Health and safety hazards may occur if containers are overflowing and rubbish exceeds the container capacity. Please do not overload. Do not leave bags, boxes, or junk along side collection bin, or they will not be collected.
- Once trash has been collected, relocate collection bin from the street to under or alongside the house no later than 12:00 midnight on the day of collection from the street.
