Every garbage can above the maximum allowed herein must have a sticker affixed in the manner described herein.

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.
