BAG IT

Properly bag, tie and place household waste in a container/ receptacle for collection. Keep meat frozen until your collection day to minimize odor and decomposition. 

BIN IT

Waste must be easily accessible to our sanitation workers. Storage receptacle should be at the front of the lot where it can be accessed easily 24/7 by collection crews. Ensure that the bottom of your waste container is pierced.

WE’LL COLLECT IT

Your solid waste containers should be structurally sound so as not to cause injury or pose any threats to the physical safety of our sanitation workers.
