What happens if I overfill my container?
Learn what happens if your container is overfilled and how to adjust your service.
An overloaded container occurs when your garbage or recycling materials extend above the top, preventing the lid from closing easily, or cover the ground around the container. It also applies when extra debris is found on top of a closed container lid. Overages may result in incomplete service or an additional charge to your account.
