Place your cart at the curb in a way that its lid opens toward the front of the street. Following special, exceptional guidelines will help residents ensure their trash collection, such as placing their cart in a clean, visible, and accessible area. Moreover, leave a clearance of 3 feet on both sides of your cart when placing it so that it can be collected easily.
Place your cart at a distance of 3 feet from all obstacles and approximately 10 feet away from parked vehicles for better service. Furthermore, do not overfill your trash cart and pack all trash into plastic bags before putting it into the cart so that the trash does not stick to the cart walls during collection.

Do not place bulk trash items at the curbside that are over 4 feet in length, except couches.
