WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE DRIVER FINDS CONTAMINATION IN MY BLUE RECYCLE CAN OR YARD WASTE CAN (S)?

ONE OF THREE THINGS LISTED BELOW IS THE RESULT OF HAVING MATERIAL THAT IS NOT ALLOWED IN THE BLUE RECYCLE CAN OR YARD WASTE CAN (S)

1. IF YOUR BLUE RECYCLE CAN OR YARD WASTE CAN (S) ARE STILL FULL IT IS BECAUSE THE DRIVER SAW THAT IT HAD MATERIAL THAT IS NOT ALLOWED.

 
2. IF THERE IS MATERIAL THAT IS NOT ALLOWED IN THE CAN PLACED ON THE SIDE OR AROUND THE CAN, THIS HAPPENS BECAUSE THE DRIVER CAN SEE WHAT IS BEING DUMPED INTO THE TRUCK AND HE REMOVES THE CONTAMINATED MATERIAL DIRECTLY FROM THE TRUCK.

 
3. IF YOUR CAN IS EMPTY AND THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO SEE THE MATERIAL THAT IS NOT ALLOWED WHEN HE EMPTIES THE CAN BUT IS UNABLE TO RETREIVE THE CONTAMINATED MATERIAL OUT OF THE TRUCK. IT IS MANUALLY REMOVED WHEN THE TRUCK IS DUMPED.
