Prepping For Colder Weather & Garbage

With the weather finally beginning to somewhat cool down on the east coast,
it’s beginning to unfortunately also think about what happens as the temperatures
affect your waste, and how you can prepare for the changes. While it’s never anything
too crazy to think about, there are definitive cues that you should look out for in order
to keep your waste in the trashcan, and optimize it for pickup and disposal!



Keep it Locked

As we’ve stated prior, it’s important to always cover up your garbage with lids and bungee
cords if possible. As the temperatures begin dropping, animals and smaller critters
understand that a winter coat is necessary to survive during the colder seasons. They’ll
be looking for food to store and other means in which they can bulk up. This of course
means the leftover food you toss away is their treasure. Prevent big messes by keeping
a tight lid on your garbage and deter critters elsewhere!

Observe Any Delays In Collection

While we’re not going to mention the word associated with colder months that rhymes
with ‘bow’, it’s important to understand that cold weather precipitation can occur as early
as October and should be prepared for. In the event of any type of large storm or
catastrophic event, your collection schedule will surely be delayed and/or moved around.
It’s best to check with your garbage collection company regularly in order to adapt to any
changes and avoid tossing things out too early.

Know What You Can’t Throw Out

In some cases, raking the leaves and putting it out with your normal garbage is a big
no-no. To combat this, make sure your collection company is actually taking this type
of waste, instead of it having to be delivered to an area within the city. If not, your
collection company is not required to haul it off and may leave it at the curb.
