Do’s and Don’ts of Garbage Cans

  • Place can in street on flat surface where it cannot roll back into curb and tip over.
  • Place can facing forward as arrows show.
  • Make sure lid can completely close properly.
  • Have can on the road by 7 a.m. ready for service.

  • Don’t place can within 8 feet of a second can or neighbor’s can.
  • Don’t overfill can to the point the lid won’t close completely (if the lid can’t close completely, you are responsible for the spilled garbage).

  • Don’t place hazardous materials in can (acids, paints, batteries, ashes, etc.).
