What is the solid waste collection frequency for residential areas during the summer?

In many jurisdictions, the standard solid waste collection frequency for residential areas during the summer months is typically set at two times per week. This increased frequency accommodates the higher volume of waste generated in the summer due to activities such as gardening, outdoor events, and increased food waste from barbecues and gatherings.

Two collections per week help ensure that bins do not overflow, which not only enhances neighborhood aesthetics but also minimizes public health risks related to pests and odors often associated with delayed waste removal. In contrast, options indicating lower collection frequencies may not be sufficient to manage the increased waste load during these warmer months effectively.
