Clining tips

To be able to reduce collection costs and increase efficiency and safety, the Solid Waste Services Department uses automated garbage and recycling collection trucks. Each driver operates a robotic arm to empty carts in to the truck. Consequently, bags or other items left beyond your cart can't be collected because you can find no extra people on the truck to get additional garbage.
Please follow the procedures suggested by cleaning services Wayland, MA to make sure efficient curbside garbage and yard waste collection.

Purchased containers will need to have a yellow proof purchase sticker supplied by the town. Carts without this sticker will undoubtedly be removed from your premises.
Place garbage and recycling carts several inches from the curb or edge of the road, not in the pub.
