Dear Hinds County Resident,
WM is excited to provide the residents of Hinds County with automated collection. WM will begin using automated trucks for trash collection on December 4. These trucks use automatic li ing arms to empty carts, making collection e cient and safer for your community and our employees. A 96-gallon trash cart will be delivered to each residence at no additional charge beginning October 1. With automated collection, all materials must fi t inside the WM trash cart with the lid firmly closed.
After December 4, no extra bags or material outside the cart will be collected or resident-owned containers serviced. Important Service Information
• Your trash will continue to be picked up weekly on your regular service day.
• Please begin using your WM 96-gallon cart with your other carts if needed as soon as you receive it.
• Use only the WM 96-gallon cart for trash beginning December 4.
• Please bag and tie trash before placing it inside your cart. No material outside the cart will be collected after December 4.
• Have your carts at the curb the night before or no later than 6 a.m. on your collection day.
Cart Placement for Automated Collection Place your cart at least 3 feet away from any obstacles (trees, cars, mailboxes, etc.) to allow the automatic arm to lft and empty the cart. Place the wheels of the cart toward your house.
