In preparation for the upcoming storm, residents are advised to secure their recycling and trash roll carts to prevent them from rolling away and creating unsafe conditions. According to ACC Ordinance, roll carts should not remain at the curb for more than 24 hours. Strong winds can blow recyclables and trash around, leading to litter, while flooding rain can sweep away unsecured containers, posing safety risks on streets. By securing containers, residents help keep streets safe for first responders and solid waste crews.
