Your Setouts Matter

Bundle It
Even a slight breeze can send loose items swirling around your street.
Reuse plastic grocery bags to contain material prone to scattering
such as shredded office paper, packing peanuts, and plastic bags.

Close the Lid
Remember: do not overfill your recycling or garbage cart. If the
lid is not completely closed during collection, material can spill
out and create a mess. Your material may not be collected if the
driver cannot empty the cart without spilling the contents.

Tie Bags Securely
Tie bags of extra garbage securely and do not overfill paper bags
containing extra recyclables. Place all of these bags on the curb
near the carts to prevent them from being accidentally spilled or
torn open.
