What are the guidelines for waste container placement and accessibility?

Waste Connections Inc. has specific guidelines for waste container placement and accessibility. To ensure efficient collection and maintain public safety, the containers should be positioned with the lids facing the street or alley for easy access by the collection trucks. The containers must be placed at the curbside or alley edge, clearly visible and at least 5 feet from any obstruction such as parked cars, mailboxes, or utility poles. They should also be easily reachable, with no physical obstructions like fences or shrubs hindering access. Furthermore, it is important to avoid overfilling the containers to prevent spills or litter. Following these guidelines will facilitate smooth waste collection operations and contribute to a clean and organized community.
