In winter months, residents are remined to;
- layer organics in the green cart with paper products (IE. newspaper, food boxes or paper towels) to reduce material from becoming stuck
- Clean an area around the carts, at the collection location, of snow and do not place the carts behind or on top of snow banks
- Clear the lid of snow and ice so the lid opens during collection
