- Only put the trolley bins out the morning of pick up day.
- Make sure your Street Number is displayed clearly.
- Test your security system monthly.
- Keep security gates locked when doors are left open.
- Exchange contact details with your neighbours.
- Ensure your driveway and adjacent areas are brightly illuminated at night.
