Trash collection takes place every Wednesday morning, with pickups typically beginning before dawn, around 5:00 AM. To ensure that your waste is collected without any issues, residents are strongly advised to place their trash bins and bags outside on Tuesday evenings, preferably by 7:00 PM. This proactive approach helps avoid any inconvenience of having your trash missed during the early morning rounds, as collection crews work through neighborhoods in a systematic manner.
It’s important to use securely tied bags to prevent spills and litter, and all items should be placed within the designated bins to facilitate an efficient collection process. Additionally, any bulk items or yard waste should be scheduled for special pickup, as regular collections only include standard household waste.
If you encounter any issues such as broken trash carts, missed pickups on your scheduled route, or concerns regarding billing for a secondary cart, please do not hesitate to reach out to GFL for assistance.
