Where to Place Your Cart
Place your cart on a relatively level area in front of the premises, adjacent to but not on the roadway. Your cart should be no more than eight feet from the edge of the road's pavement.
Position your cart with the lid opening facing the road and the handles/hinge facing the property.
If two carts are used, place carts at least three feet apart from each other and clear of overhead obstructions. Do not place the cart behind vehicles or mailboxes or in the roadway.
Driveway with no sidewalk: Place cart in the grassy area at the edge of the driveway away from mailboxes and other obstructions. Position so the front faces the street and the hinge is pointed toward the premises.
Sidewalk with no grass median: Place the cart with the front facing the street and the wheels tight against the curb.
Sidewalk with grass median: Place the cart with the front facing the street and the cart positioned in the grass close to the edge of the curb and at least four feet from other trees or obstructions.
