Curbside Etiquette:
Why Was My Rubbish Collection Not Picked Up?
|
|
One of the most common reasons why our rubbish collection contractor misses pickups is because they simply did not see it!
It is important to place your cart so that the opening faces the street with the lid completely closed to avoid rubbish from falling in to the street. Be mindful to make sure the cart is not blocked by a vehicle or other curbside items.
Yard waste must be placed in designated paper yard waste bags or properly marked containers. Yard waste stickers are available at City Hall.
The yard waste truck will not stop to look in unmarked containers. All branches and twigs need to be cut in 3 foot lengths and bundled with twine. Filled bags must be less than 50 lbs. Please remember, dirt is not considered yard waste and will not be accepted.
|
|
|
Reminder: Residents can only put out ONE bulk item per week.
An example of this would be only ONE of the following items:
a mattress set, a couch, carpet cut and rolled into 3 foot sections, or two additional 35-gallon size containers or bags weighing 60 lbs. or less.
|
|
If your trash, recycling, or yard waste was not picked up please contact:
Lincoln Park Department of Public Services
(313) 386-9000 or
Lincoln Park City Management
(313) 386-1800 ext. 1231
