Garbage Box Maintenance:
Upkeep: Keep garbage boxes clean, in good repair, and free of snow or debris. Boxes with maggots, wasp nests, or vermin will not be serviced.
Container Standards: Waste will not be collected from makeshift boxes (e.g., old freezers). Unsuitable containers will be tagged accordingly.
Garbage Box Lids: Residents are responsible for closing garbage box lids after each collection.
Rejected Waste:
Waste that does not meet these requirements may be left behind. Check for an orange or yellow tag indicating possible reasons why waste was not collected. Once remedied, it will be removed on the following collection day.
