Trash and Bulk
Bulk and trash pickup will continue as scheduled until the sustained winds reach 35 mph, as long as the roads are passable. Remember to monitor the wind conditions before putting out any trash, bulk or yard waste and refrain from doing so until close to the pickup time. Keep it away from stormwater drains and fire hydrants. Be ready to secure or bring in any bulk or yard trash if conditions worsen and pick up is suspended.
