How to Properly Dispose of Household Garbage and Place Automated Containers

To eliminate odor and insects, reduce spillage, and discourage animals from getting into garbage containers, all household garbage must be placed in tightly secured bags.

Please bag all garbage to prevent spillage

Collection crews will not pick up spills or litter resulting from unbagged garbage, overfilled containers, or scavenging.

Do not place garbage on the ground or on top of an automated container.

Lids must be closed completely.

Items that may pose a safety or health risk to public works employees, the public, or property, should not be placed inside your garbage can.

Garbage collection trucks do not service alleys, private driveways, or privately owned parking lots.

For your safety, never approach the collection equipment while operating.

Automated Garbage Container Placement

The wheels and handles on the garbage container should be against the curb. The arrows on the lid and in front of the container should point towards the street.

Containers must be within 2-feet of the curb, at least 3-feet from any obstruction, and 5-feet from vehicles parked along the street.

Remove containers from the curbside after the scheduled collection day.

If you have questions regarding the placement of your container please call 311 or visit CHA311.com.
