Colder weather may affect green cart collection

With colder temperatures in the forecast, some green carts may not be fully emptied during collection. Frozen materials can stick inside the cart, making it difficult for them to be fully emptied.

To help reduce this issue:

• Line your cart and layer your waste with recycled newspaper, paper bags or old pizza boxes.
• Set your cart out at every collection, even if it's not full.
• If things get stuck or frozen, use a broom or shovel handle to loosen them.
