    The totes are 64 gallons and are designed to be used with a garbage truck that collects garbage using the automated arm.
  • What do you I do if I currently pay for a 96 gallon tote with Blue Diamond? Will I receive a discounted rate for using the smaller 64 gallon tote?
    No, if you elect to use the smaller bear resistant can you will not receive a reduced rate or credit. The smaller tote is not mandatory.
