Officials are asking residents to either hold onto their materials or use another collection site if a container is full.

The Solid Waste Division said cleaning up trash left outside containers takes time away from drivers’ regular collection routes.

Residents are encouraged to help keep collection sites clean by properly disposing of materials and using alternate locations when needed.
