SO U T H B E N D i South Bend's Environmental Services Working together, we can all do our part to keep South Bend Clean, Green, and Cool! - TIPS - ♦ Trash containers must be out by 6:00 a.m. on the regular scheduled day of pickup. Please do not set out trash or yard waste more than 24 hours before scheduled pickup. ♦ Place the container two feet from the curb (or alley line) with the handle facing toward the house, arrows facing toward curb /alley line. ♦ Remove container from the curb by the end of the collection day. ♦ "No Parking" imprint will help keep cars from blocking access to the containers. ♦ Residents may add their address on the side of the container for better tracking. ♦ Rinse containers frequently to eliminate odors. ♦ Only bagged trash into the container. ♦ Pet /animal waste should be sealed in a plas- tic bag and placed in the solid waste con- tainer. It should never be mixed in with yard waste or thrown into the street, creeks, stream, river, or storm drain. ♦ Keep lids closed to prevent rain, snow and animals getting into the container. ♦ Any item that does not fit inside the city trash container is considered a "special item" and requires special pickup. Residents re- ceive one free scheduled "special item" pickup per month, call 277 -8515 to schedule. Please do not place item at the curb until you have scheduled the pickup. ♦ New homeowners or renters within the city limits who find that there is no container on the new premises, should call 277 -8823 to request a container. ♦ Households will be monitored for the num- ber of containers being used and billed ac- cordingly.
