Lighthouse Point Reminds Residents of New Waste Collection Guidelines: Bag Trash, Use Black Carts by 7 AM

Lighthouse Point residents must bag all trash and place it inside the new black garbage carts. These carts require placement at the edge of the driveway by 7 AM on collection days. Residents must also ensure carts sit three feet away from any obstructions to allow for proper pickup.

The city collects household garbage and bulk trash twice weekly. Holiday schedules may alter these collection days, so residents should check the city's official calendar for any changes. Adhering to these guidelines helps maintain efficient waste management throughout Lighthouse Point.

The updated guidelines aim to standardize waste collection practices across the community. This ensures sanitation workers can perform their duties safely and effectively, preventing delays and missed pickups. Proper cart placement and bagging trash are simple steps residents take to contribute to a cleaner city.

For disabled or elderly residents who cannot bring their garbage carts to the curb, assistance is available. These residents should contact the city's waste management department to arrange for special services. This ensures all community members can comply with the new protocols without undue hardship.
