Accessible units shall also be identified by the International Symbol of Accessibility. The exception is that if portable toilet units are used exclusively by construction personnel who to not require the use of an ADA unit, you are not required to comply with this statute. (Federal Register/Vol. 56, No. 144/July 26, 1991/ Rules and Regulations/ 4.1.2 Accessible Site and Exterior Facilities: New Construction).

Curbside Collection FAQ

Automated collection service consists of specially-designed wheeled roll carts and automated collection vehicles with mechanical arms operated by the driver in the cab of the truck.

In an automated collection system, the mechanical arm grabs, lifts, empties, and returns the container to the ground without the roll cart being touched by the driver.

In a module, you will find an option to enable schema support. Once you enable this option, FAQ schema will be automatically added to your page. In case you are using an external plugin to add schema you can keep it disabled.

  • Increased convenience for residents: residents no longer need to make multiple trips to the curb
  • Cleaner neighborhoods: roll carts create neater and litter-free neighborhoods

  • Worker safety: no need for garbage collectors to exit vehicles or to manually lift heavy containers

Yard waste will continue to be collected manually at curbside, in containers provided by customers, or in bundles and/or bags. Tree limbs and hedge clippings should not be more than 4 feet in length and 6 inches in diameter. Also, yard waste volumes cannot exceed two cubic yards or 50 pounds.

Carts will be delivered before service is scheduled to begin.

The dimensions of the roll carts are approximate:

  • 96 Gallon Totter cart: 35.25” x 29.75” x 43.25”
  • By comparison, the typical 32-gallon container which most people use for manual collection is 33 inches high by 26.5 inches wide by 26.5 inches deep.

Although some households may not regularly generate that amount of garbage, there are times (holidays, big purchases with a lot of packaging, entertaining etc.) when residents will need the full capacity. In order to be collected, all items must fit in the roll carts.

All household garbage items may be placed in the cart. It is recommended that garbage items be bagged and tied first, then placed in the roll cart. This practice will keep your container cleaner and minimize odors. Do not load your container with ashes or coals, recyclable items, household hazardous chemicals or medical waste, tires, paint, or any yard waste such as bagged or loose grass, leaves or small branches.

Or, you can contact your Franchise Collector to request a Special Collection Service; there is a fee for this service.

You must use the provided roll carts for garbage and recyclables. Automated collection requires a standardized, heavy-duty container that will work with the trucks’ mechanisms. Also, with the overwhelming variety available, it would be impossible to ensure the proper roll carts are being used unless they are supplied by the company.

There must be at least 3 feet of clearance around the roll cart at curbside in order for the trucks to be able to pick up the roll carts. Instructions on cart use and collection days will be provided with the carts when they are delivered.

A fee for backdoor service may be negotiated directly.

Contact us and we will repair or replace a roll cart within three days from the date of request for repair, or on your next garbage collection day.

Contact us, a Sheriff’s report will be filed, and a replacement roll cart will be delivered by the Franchise Collector within three days from the date of notification or on your next garbage collection day.

No. The roll carts should remain at the address they were delivered.
