During our monthly meeting with the Operations Supervisor, we learned that there are times (especially during rain events) that the retrieval of green waste can be made difficult due to water filling resident containers. Republic has asked that we remind residents to: • Cover green waste containers to prevent rainwater from getting in • Empty any rainwater before your bi-weekly pickup time(s) • Drill holes in the bottom of containers to allow water to drain out naturally • Or use bags for green waste if the above is not feasible. No container, bag or bundle should weigh more than 60 pounds.
