All trash placed at the curb must be inside a rigid container that is between 32 and 96 gallons in size. The container must have a lid and the lid must be in place when the trash container is placed at the curb for pick up. Plastic bags of trash placed at the curb cannot be handled by the trash truck's lift arm.

The Board of Directors is requiring that the tote bin items be securely enclosed in a plastic bag so that they are not blown away by the wind or spilled onto the pavement when the lift arm dumps the tote bin contents into the truck. Rizzo requires the use of a clear bag so the operator can visually confirm that it contains only recycling items.
