3 tips for keeping your containers collectable in wintery weather

1. Keep it visible and accessible: Shovel snow, and place your items at the end of your driveway, not on top of snowbanks. Green bins, blue boxes and garbage cans placed on top of or behind snowbanks, on sidewalks, or buried in the snow pose a safety hazard to pedestrians, vehicles and our collection crews. If you shovel a ledge in the snowbank for your blue box, please make sure it's on the road-side, not the sidewalk-side.
2. Don't set items to the curb the night before collection if a storm is expected. Place your items at the curb by 7 a.m. on the day of collection.
3. Write your address on your collection containers in permanent marker. This makes it easier for them to be returned..
