ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
BINS ARE OWNED BY WASTE MANAGEMENT
The recycling bins are assigned to a residence, not to the customer. They are to be left at the residence should the customer move to another location. The taking of a recycling bin by anyone other than an authorized representative of Waste Management could be considered theft and may result in criminal charges being filed against the person removing the bin.
RECYCLING BIN LOSS PROCEDURE
- Any theft, loss, or destruction of a recycling bin must be reported to the police department as soon as noted by the customer.
- The Police Department will forward a copy of the report to the Utility Billing Department.
- Utility Billing personnel will notify Waste Management of the theft, loss, or destruction and will request replacement of the bin which will be accomplished by Waste Management as soon as possible.
