Following delays caused by winter weather, pick up returns to your scheduled collection days.

Officials say if you can shovel around your sidewalk and trash bins, it will help crews empty bins more quickly.

If your cart was missed last Thursday or Friday, trucks are working through the weekend, but for this week, adhere to the normal schedule.
Extra Trash: If your cart is full, you may bag extra trash and place it on the curb, but do not place items on top of or lean them against the carts.
No Yard Waste: There is no yard waste collection for the week of Feb 2-6
