Received an OOPS Sticker?
Environmental Services places OOPS stickers on waste and recycling bins when materials are not properly sorted, or if unaccepted materials are found at the curbside. If you receive an OOPS sticker, try repackaging or sorting your materials according to the sticker’s instructions and place it out on your next collection day. The goal is to help educate residents on proper sorting and waste diversion.
