We will send you a site plan with two options clearly marked
on it. Check off which option you desire, and we will place the
bin at that location. You may also request a specific location;
some examples are in a parking spot, in the grass near the car
pool lane, and most importantly somewhere visible to the community

Once the sign up form has been submitted and a spot has
been chosen your bin will be delivered within two weeks.
