Cart Placement Guide
North Lincoln Sanitary Service’s trucks have automated arms that service your carts.
In order for our drivers to operate the trucks as efficiently and safely as possible,
we ask that you abide by the following placement guidelines:
- Provide 3 feet of clearance between each of the carts. (If you can walk between carts without touching them you've left adequate space.)
- Set all carts roadside for pick up. (Unless you are a carryout customer.)
- Point carts with the lid opening toward the street.
- Ensure 18 feet of overhead clearance.
- Provide 5 feet of clearance between your carts and any parked vehicles, mailboxes, basketball hoops, trees, and other potential obstacles.
- Do not block bike lanes, vehicle lanes of travel, or sidewalks.
