Q. I got this from a shul. Any issues with leaving it before shabbos or on shabbos like it recommends?

The City will provide special collection on Saturday, July 13 for waste created by flooding. Residents also have the option of setting out flood-damaged items on their regular garbage day. Residents are reminded to check with their insurance company before setting items out for collection (proof of damage prior to disposal may be needed for reimbursement).

Bulky items such as couches, mattresses or other furniture do not need to be dismantled. Carpets must be tied in rolls measuring 1.2 m (4 ft) in length. Smaller items should be placed in garbage bags; no City-issued Bag Tag required. Each bag or roll of carpet cannot weigh more than 20 kg (44 lbs). Please place all flood-damaged material out at the curb by 7:00 am and leave items out until collected (collection may continue until Monday).

Place spoiled food items in the Green Bin. Do not set out any construction/renovation waste (i.e. drywall, wood) or household waste (i.e paint cans, fluorescent lighting tubes/bulbs).

A. Due to issues involving Muktze prohibitions, as well as Hachono (preparing from Shabbos to weekdays) and Tircho (work exertion on Shabbos), it is essential that all items should be placed outside for collection before Shabbos begins.
