Residential Waste Collection Guidelines:
Please remember, when setting out your garbage, the WCA/GFL Environmental Inc. carts are to be placed so that the handles and wheels are facing resident’s home. When placing your carts out each service day (Monday and Thursday) WCA will place them back at the point of origin, once the carts are emptied. (If you place them at the curb they will be returned to the curb, if set out on the grass near the curb they will be placed back to that area, etc.) When filling up your trash carts, always place trash in a bag before depositing in your trash cart. This method will reduce the chance of trash flying out of the cart during and onto the ground, during the collection process,especially on windy days.

******A note from your HOA******
The Oakwood Glen deed restriction guidelines have not changed with this latest service change. All garbage cans should be placed at the curb no sooner than 6:00pm the night before the scheduled pickup and should be retrieved and placed out of sight by the end of the pickup day. On non-collection days, trash containers should be stored inside the garage, house, storage building or behind a fence. It is up to each homeowner to keep the neighborhood looking pleasant.
