Winter Waste Placement
Seen and Safe:
how to put out garbage and recycling.
Snowbanks and winter weather can make it difficult for collectors to see and safely reach your garbage and recycling. Choose and maintain a collection area that is visible to and safe for collectors.
MAKE IT SEEN:
Choose a collection area at a safe and visible ground-level location, like:
- the right side at the end of your driveway (as you face the street),
- if you do not have a driveway, place it on the boulevard closest to the curb,
- or, if there is no boulevard, place it on the right side at the end of your walkway.
Making sure your collectibles are seen ensures pick-up.
KEEP IT SAFE:
Keep a path from the road to your collectibles clear of snow and ice.
Safe placement of collectibles helps avoid worker injury.
