Correct Use of Trash Bag

Correct Use of Trash Bag

The Sanitation Division of the City of Philadelphia provides weekly residential curbside trash collection. Each family is limited to four 32-gallon trash containers or eight 32-gallon trash bags.

The Sanitation Division also regulates the type of trash bags that can be used: Small and flimsy plastic bags are NOT collected by the Sanitation Division as they tend to be stuck in the garbage truck compressor system and hinders the process of garbage collecting. Only proper and strong trash bags with a minimum size of 32-gallon would be collected by the
Sanitation Division.
