Sanitation Engineering Services
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.
