Enclosure
Standards:
Regulations and Enclosure
Specifications:
City of Sedro-Woolley appreciates the opportunity to provide your facility with
garbage service. To better serve you, we have detailed
information above concerning enclosures and container space
requirements.
Commercial and multi-family solid waste and
recycling areas, regardless of size or type of service, should
allow for the following:
National
safety standards require a hard, level surface for all
refuse and recycling containers. Please site your containers
in a well-lit, unobstructed area as close to the street or
alley entrance as possible for optimal truck access and
servicing. Areas, which are not level or obstructed, may not
receive proper service.
Please keep side or overhead obstructions at least 20 feet from
the enclosure. Examples include utility/cable lines, roof
overhangs, balconies, signs and light fixtures.
Containers should be located on a level,
reinforced concrete slab (4-6 inches thick) poured to grade
and sized to accommodate all solid waste and recycling
containers.
Additional space should be allowed around each container for easy access in
loading and unloading. Solid waste containers require a minimum 2-foot clearance around
all sides. Recycling containers
require a minimum 6-inch clearance around the sides and back
and 40 inches in front.
When ordering service, please
inquire about container size.
Enclosures should also include a 5-6 foot
high wall or fence around three sides. The fourth side should
be open for servicing, opposite any prevailing winds on the
site.
No Parking Zones should be
in effect in front of the enclosure.

Want to lower your
garbage bill?
Recycle all you can - and buy recycled.
Help yourself, our community and the environment by
encouraging your tenants to properly recycle as much as they
can. This provides us with more recyclables to sell and
less garbage you have to pay to dispose of. By recycling
as much as possible, you can help lower your overall garbage
bill.
Recycling may also
reduce the amount of garbage you generate.
One of the
biggest ways you can help keep your bill low is to buy
recycled products. Increasing demand for products made from
recycled materials helps strengthen markets. Many products are
now available that are made from recycled
materials.
What if you could pay the same rates you pay now, but you could recycle almost 90-95% of everthing you throw out. Would you want to do it? All it takes is a little training and education.
Call Leo Jacobs to arrange a free on-site waste audit of your home, business or apartment complex. I will provide you with strategies, space requirements and a financial breakdown of how to recycle 90-95% of all your wastes.
Here is a simple self audit to get started:
1. Did I get all of my paper products out of the garbage?
2. Did I get all metal out of the garbage? (Including tim aluminum Etc.)
3. Did I get all of my glass out of the garbage?
Once you have gotten all of these materials completly out of your garbage stream, then drop us an e-mail and we will help with how to divert the rest if possible. If you have any questions about what you have left e-mail me a list of what you have.
Automated Collection
Some quick notes to keep in mind to help us with the transition to Curbside Automated Garbage pick up.
1.) Please keep all objects clear of your carts by 3 feet in every direction.
2.) Please do not park in front of your cart.
3.) Please do not put by your mail box.
4.) please do not overload your can.(Over loading will cause spills)
