School Collection Program Rules
- Dublin Municipal Code requires business to keep all containers in a clean and sanitary condition and for lids to be tightly closed when note in use.
- No overfilling of bins or carts. Lids must be able to close completely. Drivers will not empty any overloaded bins or carts.
- If you find your containers are regularly overloaded, please call AVI to increase service.
- Keep the lids closed at all times. Check your containers to make sure lids are tightly fitted to prevent scattering by birds, breeding of flies, or rodents and rainwater from entering your bins.
- AVI will exchange dirty containers once per year for commercial accounts.
