City of Chatfield issued the following announcement on June 19.
To protect the health and safety of the employees, Wm. Hanson Waste Removal will only pick up trash that is placed in a TIED, yellow trash bag.
If residents use the yellow bag to line a trash container, that bag must be TIED closed.
The employees will attempt to clean up any spills that might occur with the use of a pitchfork but will no longer clean up those spills with their hands.
To minimize the possibility of bags being punctured by animals or birds, do not place your bag on the curb the night before pick-up is scheduled.
These rules go into effect immediately.
The haulers thank you for your consideration.
