How to Use Your Food Waste Cart (green lid)

This short video illustrates how the food waste carts are to be used.

Your food waste cart is equipped with a gravity lock

Even in the locked position (handle oriented in the vertical position), the new collection trucks will be able to open the lid when the food waste cart is tipped upside down in the 110 degree position. Keep your food waste cart locked at all times, including on collection day, to prevent wildlife interactions.
