Street sweepings

  • Put into your black cart

Put bagged street sweepings such as gravel, dust, rocks and other debris into your black cart as garbage.

Special instructions

  • Gravel, dust, rocks and other debris must be double bagged and tied closed for dust control. Make sure it is under the 20kg (45 pound) weight limit – if you can easily lift it with one hand, it’s okay.
  • For your collector’s safety, place all bagged debris inside your black cart for removal.
  • Do not leave debris loose in your black cart. This will help keep the air free of dust and keep collection trucks clean as well.
