When you place your refuse, yard debris and recycling containers along the street for pickup, please be sure to place each container side-by-side at least one foot away from the other containers. Doing it this way will enable our trucks to use their robotic arms to pick up your carts and place the contents in the truck. Failure to position your containers like this may result in damage to the containers or a missed pickup for you. |
|
Space each container at least one foot apart to allow for easy pickup |
