- Take your bins to the curb on the evening prior to the scheduled collection.
- Remove the bins as soon as possible on the morning following the collection.

- In the event that you were unable to take your bins to the curb the evening before the scheduled collection day, you may take them out as soon as the street is reopened, before 7 p.m., on collection day.
After waste collection, bins may be left on the street corner nearest to the closure site.
