the garbage can which will allow its placement at the curb and collection
by the solid waste hauler for the Town of Dover.

Every garbage can above the maximum allowed herein must have
a sticker affixed in the manner described herein. If garbage cans
are used, residents must place the stickers on the top item in the
can so it is plainly visible when the lid is removed by the solid
waste collector. For alternate garbage cans, it may be placed directly
on the bag. For bulky items and white goods, the sticker must be affixed
so that it is plainly visible to the collector. Stickers will be disposed
of with the garbage and are not reusable. If there is no sticker affixed
and it exceeds the two-can or alternate garbage can amount set forth
herein, the solid waste will not be collected.
Only stickers issued by the Town of Dover and paid for by the
resident will be acceptable under this program. Anyone attempting
to circumvent the sticker program of the Town of Dover will be in
violation of this article and subject to the penalties as set forth
herein.
