Dear Tremonton City Residents,

We are reaching out in an effort to remind, as well as educate residents about proper usage and placement of their residential cans. We have created an educational flyer (see below) to illustrate proper usage of your residential can.

Addressed in this flyer are the two biggest issues that regularly occur ; overloading and placing cans too close to each other, or other objects.

When cans are overloaded, it prevents the contents of the can from properly emptying. Because the can is approximately 3 ½ feet tall, and the hopper of the truck (where the can’s contents are dumped) is approximately 4 feet tall, the overloaded contents have nowhere to go, but instead get packed further into the can. At this point, one of two things will occur. Either the contents stay in the can and don’t get emptied, or they fall out and make a mess on the street as the can is lowered back down.

When cans are placed too close to each other, or other objects, the arm of the truck cannot safely extend to grab the can, or it cannot safely maneuver the can. The driver then runs the risk of either damaging property, or knocking over cans, which would then create a mess on the street.

As you can see, it is crucial that residents do not overfill their cans, and that they space cans the proper distance from each other, and other objects. This will go a long way in ensuring that residents are happy with the service.

Tremonton City Spring Cleanup is on April 28, 29 & 30.  On these dates the city puts out large trash dumpsters around town.  This is to help eliminate the overloading of residential garbage cans.  Please do not overload the large dumpsters. If they are full please find another one to use.

The county landfill also accepts residential loads for a minimal fee.

Sincerely,

Tremonton City & Econo Waste, Inc.
