Stafford requires GFL-provided solid waste containers to be set at curbside, or as close to the roadway as practicable without obstructing traffic or pedestrians, no later than 7 a.m. on the scheduled collection day.
Chapter 74 of the Stafford Code of Ordinances and city solid waste guidance direct residents to place GFL-provided carts at the curb, or as close to the roadway as practicable without interfering with vehicles or pedestrians, no later than 7:00 a.m. on the scheduled pickup day. Carts must remain accessible to the collection truck and should be returned to the property after pickup. Containers placed in roadways, blocking sidewalks, or set out far in advance may be subject to code enforcement.
Failing to set carts out by 7 a.m., blocking the public right-of-way, or leaving carts at the curb beyond the pickup day can trigger non-collection and code enforcement notices.
