Winter placement
of materials:
Blue boxes, green bins and garbage containers/bags
must be placed on the RIGHT SIDE of the driveway
and set back approximately 0.9 m. to (3 ft) from
the curbside. The RIGHT SIDE of the driveway is
defined as the right side when standing at the
curb and facing the house. This will reduce the
possibility of garbage, green bin and blue box
materials being buried under the pile of snow
left by the wind or snow removal vehicles. |
Set out requirements:
Refer to the appropriate section
(garbage etc.) for set out requirements. |
