A Watling Street resident's windblown trash, Oct. 21, 2014. |
Click here to read about the new trash and recycling regulations.
Basically, everything you set out to the curb for collection by Rizzo needs to be inside a container and it has to be covered with a lid. Plastic bags containing trash or recyclables may not be set out on the ground. They must be inside a closed container.
The only exception is a recycling tote bin. If you use a tote bin, all recycling items must be enclosed inside a clear plastic bag, which is securely tied and then placed in the tote bin.
Clear plastic bags for the recycling items can be purchased at Home depot, Lowes and other similar stores.
