Winter Weather Delays


 

In case of winter weather delays for garbage and recycling service

 

Garbage: When garbage collection must be postponed, your company will make a reasonable effort to pick up prior to your next collection day. If this is not possible (due to other collection schedules or continuing hazardous weather), your collection may be postponed to the following week’s regular collection day, and twice the amount of your current subscribed level will be collected the following week.

 

Recycling: If recycling is not picked up on normally-scheduled collection days, the truck will return the following week.

Yard Debris: If yard debris is not picked up, residents can leave twice the usual amount on the next regular yard debris collection day, without extra charges.

Residential customers should call garbage and recycling companies directly for updated information.
