Why can't I stack recyclables next to the recycle rollcart?

The recycle truck has a mechanical arm that lifts the can 11 feet into the hopper of the truck. Most loose recyclables do not make that trip well unless they are secured. We have made this a fully automated system to achieve maximum efficiency. If the drivers have to exit the truck numerous times it becomes inefficient. Make sure that all the cardboard in the rollcart is cut up and you're using all the space in the bin. If you still have extra cardboard make sure it is cut down to 4 by 4 sheets and binding would be nice. The only things that should be next to your bin is motor oil and small amounts of scrap metal.
