Location and Placement of Cart

• All garbage must be BAGGED and TIED before placing inside the cart.
• The arrow located on the lid and metal bar on front of container should be facing out into the street or alley ready for collection.
• The lid must be closed so the garbage will not spill on the ground when emptied. Nothing can be placed on top of the closed lid.
• Place cart closer to the street or the truck WILL NOT be able to reach the garbage container, and it WILL NOT be emptied.
• All garbage to be collected MUST be placed inside the container.
• Do not place anything on top of closed lid or on the ground around the cart, as this will stop the driver from emptying the container.
• Place the cart in an OPEN SPACE or at least THREE FEET from all mailboxes, fences, telephone or FPL poles or trees. Also be sure that no vehicles are blocking the cart. If so, it will not be emptied.
• Your cart should be placed out the night before or by 6:30 a.m. on the day of collection and returned to storage by sunset on the day of collection.
