"Please leave the items in their original containers when possible, making sure the lids are tight for transport," the town said. "Sort and pack things separately when possible. Pack everything in a sturdy upright leak-proof container. Do not pre-pack the vehicle the night before. Pack that morning and drive straight to the designated location."
