Our waste collection partner, WastePro, asks: FOR THE SAFETY OF COLLECTION STAFF, please make sure that you do NOT use bungee cords, or stretch materials
that may break and snap, to secure garbage lids, bundle yard waste, or otherwise hold your trash. Recently one of WastePro's staff was seriously injured when a bungee cord snapped and
the end hit him in the eye! If your neighborhood has trouble with raccoons, be aware the container lids are designed to be difficult for raccoons to open. If dogs are your problem, they
recommend splashing a bit of bleach on the sides and top to ward off the sniffers before they cause trouble. Use string or rope when necessary to secure or bundle materials. Thank you!
You can contact WastePro via the search term “WastePro” on the City web site, or by calling them at City Hall: 912.786.4573 x131, or directly at 912.965.0777.
