Help Keep Our Neighborhoods Trash-Free

Written For: February 2009

KEEP OUR COMMUNITIES CLEAN!

PLACE YOUR TRASH OUT THE RIGHT WAY EVERY TIME

Your scheduled trash pick-up is on Mondays/Thursdays or Tuesdays/ Fridays

at the REAR / SIDE / FRONT of your property.

Trash Disposal the Right Way:

• Trash cans must be durable, have handles AND tight-fitting lids

• Mark the can AND the lid with your street address

• No more than 4 (20 gal) OR 2 (32 gal) containers of trash per household

• Put cans out after 8:00 p.m. the night before in a can only ,

OR by 7:00 a.m. the day of scheduled pick-up

• Place cans at curbside, or along your property line at the side or rear alley

• Keep your sidewalks, alleys and gutters clean and clear of trash

• Do not store trash cans in the public right of way

WHY?

Only cans with lids keep trash contained, prevent litter

and discourage rodents, stray animals and other pests.

Violations can cost you as much as $500 per citation.
