COVID-19 GARBAGE DISPOSAL GUIDELINES
Due to COVID-19 safety considerations, garbage that is not presented as shown below will not be picked up.
Please place garbage in one large tightly sealed bag per container/can and ensure that there are no loose items in your container/can.
This will be the standard moving forward.
1. BAG and SEAL your garbage
- Place garbage securely in sealed bags (with no holes). Please note we cannot collect loose items at this time.
- If your container has a lid, ensure it is fully closed to avoid loose windblown items.
2. DO NOT place used tissues/ napkins/ wipes, etc. loose in ANY CONTAINER
- Items for cleaning or personal use (including masks and gloves) MUST be disposed of in tightly-sealed garbage bags and placed in the garbage ONLY.
3. If you’re sick, bag it TWICE
- If you, anyone in your household, or anyone you’ve been in contact with is sick, place your garbage in a bag, then put that bag in a second bag. If in doubt, bag it twice!
