Set Out Instructions: 

  • Place cart at curbside after 8 p.m. the Thursday prior to pickup.
  • Ensure carts are as close to the street as possible, clearly visible and accessible.
  • Never place carts behind or on snow banks. 
  • Ensure bin lids are properly closed and facing the street. 
  • Ensure cart is at least 1 metre (3 feet) from any object, i.e. hydro poles, cars, snow banks etc. so the trucks’ automated arms can grab and lift carts.
