Field Checks

Field checks are conducted in advance of bin delivery in order to assure that access to the bin can be done by our large collection vehicles. They will also identify that bin enclosures are properly designed and include appropriate gates and wall protection. Customers will be notified of any condition that does not meet the criteria for trash bin service. A waiver will be sent to the customer if one of the conditions does not meet criteria. Customer will sign waiver and service will be authorized to begin.
