You can help reduce litter by preventing your Blue Box materials and garbage from blowing around your neighbourhood on windy days. Please put your Blue Boxes and garbage at the curb securely: On windy days, put your waste at the curb by 7 a.m. the morning of your collection day, not the night before. Put your address on your Blue Box, garbage can and garbage lid. Stack your Blue Boxes and place heavier items such as phone books and magazines on top of loose papers. Bundle and tie papers. Fill boxboard boxes with other boxboard material. Flatten and tie large cardboard boxes and place securely underneath or between your Blue Boxes. Put garbage bags at the curb instead of garbage cans; garbage cans are more likely to blow around. ? " M L h R ? M T C P ? J J ? J S C ? M V C Q ? ?
