Have your roll-out container or bulk items out by 6:30 a.m. the day of your scheduled waste collection. Remember, you have a collection day, not a collection time.
Keep bulk and metal items separated (they're picked up by a separate truck).
Keep yard waste separated from other collection items (it also must be cut and tied in 4-foot lengths no larger than 18 inches in diameter).
Remove containers from curb line, alley or front yard no later than 8 a.m. on the day after your collection day.
Place container at least 5 feet away from any object (cars, mailboxes, trees, etc.).
Always allow 3 feet between containers.
Place containers at curb (or alley) with handles facing house.
— DON’T —
Overfill roll out (lid should be closed on roll out).
Place any hot items in roll out (e.g., ashes from fireplace).
Place roll out close to any obstruction (such as an automobile).
Put loose trash in roll out (wrap or bag all trash).
Have trash piled on or around roll out.
