Is There a Bag Limit?
Yes, each resident is provided one 64-gallon container. Lids should be allowed to close securely to avoid debris spilling during the tipping of your cart. Extra bags collected will be provided with a “Bag Tag” that can be purchased and affixed to the extra bags. Extra bags must weigh no more than 20 kgs (44 lbs.) and must be no larger than 2 ft. x 3 ft., so there is no risk of injury to your collector.
