Containers must not be overloaded; lids should close, and all trash should be bagged and in a container. Do not place anything hot (e.g. ashes) or flammable liquids, chemicals, sand, soil, motor oil, construction waste, or hazardous materials in containers. Additional containers are available for $5 per month.
