​

Tips:

1. Place your totes curbside by 6:00 a.m. to ensure they are emptied. 

2. Place totes a MINIMUM distance of three feet between each tote and other obstacles to provide enough room for the truck's mechanical arm. Your totes may be skipped if there is not adequate room.

3. Make sure the lids are closed so contents remain dry.

4. All garbage totes should be place on the curb or boulevard - DO NOT place them on the street.

5. Remove your garbage and recycling totes in a timely fashion, especially on snowy days, to make it easier for snow removal.

 

Missed Pickup:

If your tote was curbside by 6:00 a.m. and was not emptied by the end of the day (after 8:00 P.M), please call Fat Man Trash directly at 701-941-0714.
