- Place the cart curbside with the red arrow on the lid pointing toward the street.
- Keep carts at least three feet away from other carts, mailboxes, fire hydrants, low hanging trees or shrubs, parked cars, and utility poles so trucks can easily access the cart.

Do not load your container with hot ashes or coals, recyclable items, household hazardous waste or medical waste, liquid paint, or any yard waste such as bagged or loose grass, leaves, or small branches.
Leave 3' to 4' between your carts and between the mailbox or other objects.
