No, you are not required to be present for delivery. We ask that the area is accessible and clear for delivery. If you would like to leave cones or markings you may do so, or leave placement instructions with your sales rep. We also ask you are available by phone if possible, in case we have a placement issue or concern. If the driver is unavailable to reach you, your container will be rescheduled or placed in the next best spot per the judgement of the driver.
