Optimal garbage placement can get tricky in the winter. Here are some reminders about bin placement and ways to facilitate collection and snow removal operations.
- Do NOT park your car in front of garbage bins set out for collection.
- Keep an area on your property cleared of snow for placing your garbage bin out for collection.
- If your driveway is very narrow, you may consider keeping an area of your lawn cleared of snow where you can set out your bins.
- Do NOT place your garbage bins on the sidewalk.
- If you must move the garbage bin temporarily to gain access to your driveway, the preferred back-up placement is in the street, as close as possible to the curb.
- Remember to always have the Town logo on the bin facing the street (the wheels facing the household) and keep at least 30cm (1 ft) clear of obstacles on all sides of the bin.
