Please set out all carts either the night before or by 7 AM on your pickup day.

The lid on the cart is to be closed with no bags or items placed on top of the lid. These items will fall off when the automatic arm on the truck lifts the cart. Extra bags should not be placed in personal containers. Extra bags should be placed a few feet away from the cart. Help us keep Warrensburg clean and prevent animals from opening bags and creating litter by setting out bags that do not fit in the container in the morning rather than the night before.
