Space Those Carts Apart

None of us will forget the constant reminders for staying 2 metres apart during the pandemic. But did you know our refuse carts also like a little bit of space between them?

Please remember the 1-metre rule: Place your carts at least 1 metre (or 3 feet) away from parked cars, trees, or other obstructions like a hydro box, as well as 1 metre away from other carts. The mechanical arm on the truck needs that space all around a cart in order to successfully—and safely—pick it up (and yes—sometimes they do fall over when the arm puts them down!). Remember to also position your carts with the arrows pointing to the centre of the road. *Pro tip: You use these carts each week and may not think about them much—but these instructions are actually on the lid of each one
