• The Town's own set-out rules matter in Lochbuie because nothing may be left beside a cart. The page instructs residents to "Place your carts out at the curb or in the alley no later than 7 a.m. Drivers will begin their collection promptly at 7 a.m." and to "Place carts at least 3 feet apart and with 5 feet of space between any other objects at the curb." It then states flatly that "Items beside or on top of your trash cart will not be picked up - make sure everything is inside the cart with the lid closed", which is why a mattress has to go through the paid bulk booking rather than the weekly route. Overflow has its own priced route: "Extra material stickers can be purchased at the Town of Lochbuie for $4 per sticker. The sticker should be placed on the 32-gallon trash bag. Bags without an extra bag sticker WILL NOT be collected." Additional 95-gallon trash or recycling carts are $4.50 a month each, "Billed monthly directly to the resident via your Lochbuie Utility Bill."
