HPCA's contract with GFL allows for an annual CPI-U rate adjustment of up to 5% (Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers). The Annual CPI-U rate adjustments are standard in any trash service contract. This is based on the June 2022 overall national CPI-U increase of 5.87%.
POLYCARTS MUST BE STORED OUT OF PUBLIC VIEW ON NON-PICKUP DAYS
(in garage, backyard or behind an approved structure)
Place polycarts at the curb facing the street by 7am on service days

GFL operates a sticker program. You must have the appropriate colored sticker for the large household trash polycart and smaller recycle polycart. A current stickered polycart must be placed at the curb in order for yard debris placed at the curb or heavy trash to be picked up. Every quarter, after your bill has been paid, a set of 2 colored stickers will be mailed to you. Put the stickers on a clean, dry surface on each of the two polycarts so it is visible to the GFL truck.
SERVICES ARE AS FOLLOWS:
Heavy trash is limited to two (2) items per service day and at least 3 yard bags.
Depending on the total neighborhood yard waste volume for the day, GFL may have to limit the number of yard bags picked up. Please put as many yard waste bags as possible in the larger polycart. Your tree service provider should remove all trunks and branches. Smaller trees and bushes should be bundled in 4 foot lengths for pickup.
Concerning recycling materials: all items must be rinsed and dry and loose in the smaller recycle polycart. Do not bag recycle materials, and do not recycle glass or pizza boxes.
