Container Setout
Please place containers on the street side as shown below so they do
not block pedestrian use of sidewalks. Keep containers a minimum of six (6) feet away
from cars, boats and other stationary objects to avoid risk of private property damage.

|
Placement & Storage
Please remove containers from the curbside after they are serviced on
collection day. The appearance of neighborhoods would be improved if residents stored
containers in side or backyards after servicing.
