  • Containers should be placed at curbside no later than 6:30 a.m. on collection day.
  • Please place your carts side-by-side approximately one (1) foot apart and at least three (3) feet from any obstruction (i.e. car, fire hydrant, trees).
  • Place your carts with the handles and wheels facing towards your home.
  • Containers should be removed from curbside within 12 hours after service.
