Winter Weather Reminders

Ensure Your Bins Are Accessible

Snow and ice can make it difficult for our collection teams to access your bins. To help us maintain timely service:

1. Clear the Area: Remove snow and ice from around your bins and the path leading to them.
2. Place Bins Wisely: Position bins at the edge of your driveway or sidewalk, away from snowplows and roadways.
3. Avoid Overfilling: Ensure lids are closed tightly to prevent snow from entering and freezing the contents.

Check for Service Updates

Severe weather conditions may occasionally delay or reschedule collection services. Stay informed by:

1. Monitoring Notifications: Check our website, social media channels, or customer portal for real-time updates.
2. Planning Ahead: If a delay is announced, securely store your waste and recyclables until the next collection day.

Dispose of Hazardous Materials Safely

Winter often involves materials like rock salt, antifreeze, and other hazardous substances. Please remember:

1. Follow Local Guidelines: Dispose of these items at designated facilities to prevent environmental harm.
2. Avoid Regular Bins: Do not place hazardous materials in your trash or recycling bins.
3. Label Clearly: If transporting these materials to a disposal site, ensure they are in sealed, labeled containers.

Be Mindful of Road Safety

Our collection trucks need safe road conditions to navigate your neighborhood. You can assist by:

1. Parking Considerately: Avoid blocking bins and/or dumpsters with parked cars on collection days.
2. Allowing Extra Time: Be patient as our crews work carefully to complete routes in icy or snowy conditions.
