Glass and Other Sharp Objects

Every year, collection personnel are injured (some seriously) due to broken glass and other sharp objects that are not packed properly.

Please help keep our workers safe by packing these items in a sealed cardboard box labelled "Broken Glass" or "Sharp Object", and set out with your regular garbage collection.
