A smooth collection starts the night before!

Place your bins at the curb the night before your scheduled collection day. Leave at least 4 feet of space between each bin and away from cars, mailboxes, trees, poles, and other obstacles.

These small steps help collection crews work safely and keep your service running smoothly.
