1. That the garbage be placed at the curbside in the morning of the pick-up before 8:00 a.m., regardless of what time your garbage was picked up in the past.
2. That the garbage be placed in containers that cannot be opened by birds and animals.
3. A maximum of six (6) units may be placed at the curbside.
