New Sanitation Cart Placement in Longview

LONGVIEW — With the new Sanitation Simplified Collection program rolling out, many Longview residents have asked about how, when, and where they should place their carts for collection. Officials encourage residents to place carts out by 7:30 a.m. of collection day. The handles should be facing your house. Carts should be placed with the wheels at the curb whenever possible. Some areas are not safe or practical for curb placement, according to officials. In these areas, you’re asked to place the cart off the road no more than ten feet back. The last thing to remember is the four-foot rule: place carts four feet from any obstacles such as carts, mailboxes, other carts, and trash bags. City staffers say this will ensure a much faster collection time. For more information, contact the Sanitation Division at 903-237-1250.
