While none of us can control inclement weather conditions that may impact trash service, there are some ways you can help ensure that your curbside materials are safely collected.

  • Avoid using white bags in snowy weather. If your driver can't see your trash, he can't collect it
  • Do not place bags, bins, or cans in icy areas or on top of or behind snow mounds. 
    Make sure the driver can safely access your materials. 
  • Do not place bags, bins, or cans in icy areas or on top of or behind snow mounds. 
    Make sure the driver can safely access your materials.  If you don't put cans or bins to the curb, they can't blow away
  • Bagging your trash is even more important in cold weather, when materials can freeze inside the can. If the driver cannot easily dislodge the contents of your can, he will have trouble emptying all of it.
