∙ Collecting waste (yard waste, blue box, green bin and household garbage) on  residential and main routes.

∙ All waste receptacles that are emptied into the collection vehicle must be placed  back on the resident’s property, flipped upside down at the curb, in the same  place that they were removed from. Being respectful of customers property is of  high importance.
