- During or after inclement winter weather, please keep your carts accessible by clearing the area of snow and ice to ensure service. Please do not place carts on top of snow piles or in the street. You may need to shovel out areas for your carts just like you do for mail delivery.
- Please do NOT put batteries -- or any devices containing batteries -- in your trash or recycling carts. They can start fires. Batteries must be taken to a drop-off site. Check your local Clean Sweep location, battery store or visit call2recycle.org.
- Please make sure your cart is at the curb by your designated pickup time on your scheduled pickup day or the night before. Pickup times vary from week to week.
- Please make sure the lids on your carts are closed to reduce wind-blown litter or material falling out when the cart is being emptied.
- Placing your trash in bags before putting it in your cart for normal pickup helps to cut down on wind-blown litter and allows for easier clean-up if carts tip over. For recyclables, use only clear or see-through plastic bags. (Recyclable items placed in black bags will not be recycled. See our website for more details about recycling contamination.)
- Be sure to place carts at least 4 feet away from each other and any other obstructions (mailboxes, trees, cars, etc.). Do not place carts in the street. The best placement for carts is on opposite sides at the end of the driveway or on the grass within two feet of the street.
- Carts will not be collected if they are improperly placed or overflowing (lid is not shut).
