WHEN to Place Materials at the Curb
Unless specified otherwise by your service provider, all containers/material must be at the curb by 6:30 am on collection day.
HOW to Place Materials at the Curb
If your materials are picked up by:
Capital WasteServices - Place your containers with the handles towards your house and theside of the lid that opens towards the street so that the arm on the truck can grab the metal bar and pick up the container. Place containers on the street. Make sure that there is a three foot clearance between each container and any other object (including cars, mail boxes,other containers, etc.).
Tyler's Sanitation - Most trucks require that containers be hand loaded so place your containers with the handles facing the street so that employees can quickly and easily pull them towards the truck. Containers may be placed on the street, on your driveway or on your grass at the edge of the street.
GFL Environmental (Waste Industries) -Most trucks require that containers be hand loaded so place your containers with the handles facing the street so that employees can quickly and easily pull them towards the truck. Containers may be placed on the street, on your driveway or on your grass at the edge of the street.
Some GFL trucks use an automated arm to load trucks. If your area is serviced by one of these,place your containers with the handles towards your house and theside of the lid that opens towards the street so that the arm on the truck can grab the metal bar and pick up the container. Place containers on the street. Make sure that there is a three foot clearance between each container and any other object (including cars, mail boxes,other containers, etc.).
WHAT IF I Can't Get My Container to the Curb?
