Set-out rules

Cart and set-out rules in Lakeland.

Place the cart curbside no later than 6 a.m. on your collection day, with the lid opening toward the street and the handle toward your home.

Carts are tracked with an RFID tag system the city can search to locate a lost container.

The cart must be curbside no later than 6:00 a.m. on collection day.

Set it at the curb with the lid opening toward the street and the handle toward your home.

Keep at least three feet between the cart and other carts, mailboxes, fire hydrants, low-hanging trees or shrubs, parked cars and utility poles so the truck's arm can reach it.
