Wheels to the Fence, always have the wheels of your tote facing the houses. Please see below to determine where you need to place your tote. Remember, alley pick up is always from one side of the alley, please place your tote on the proper side of the alley.

CURBSIDE

Wheels to the Curb, always have the wheels of your tote facing the curb and point the arrows to the street. Please see the illustration below to determine where you need to place your tote.

GARBAGE DAY

Put your Garbage bags in your tote and close the lid
Set your tote at curbside location by 7:00 am
Ensure your tote is placed on level ground, away from other objects
Once your tote has been emptied, return it to your house or garage.

Proper Placement:

Where you place your tote is important. Our truck has a mechanical arm to lift and empty carts. We need the appropriate space to minimize damage to property.

Totes are for household garbage, please bag all of your garbage and NEVER put any hazardous materials, dangerous goods, heavy materials or bio-waste in your cart.

EXTRA GARBAGE: Your new tote holds about the same as 3 aluminum garbage cans full. If you have extra waste, keep it in a secure location until your next collection day.
