Trash and Recycling services will slide the week of January 15th. Due to the forecasts of dangerously cold wind chill values this week, the Solid Waste and Recycling Department is suspending services on Tuesday and combining trash and recycling routes for the remainder of this week. As a reminder, there was no refuse service on Monday, January 15, due to the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday.
These are necessary changes for the safety of our Solid Waste and Recycling employees to minimize their exposure during the extreme weather conditions.
- Trash and recycling will be collected and dumped into a single truck. If you prefer to not have your recyclables taken to the landfill, please do not place the blue cart at the curb for collection this week.
- Bags outside carts will not be collected to reduce employees’ time outside in the extreme weather conditions.
- Normal Monday route customers will receive service on Wednesday, January 17.
- Normal Tuesday route customers will receive service on Thursday, January 18.
- Normal Wednesday route customers will receive service on Friday, January 19.
- Normal Thursday route customers will receive service on Saturday, January 20.
- Start times for employees may be later than usual, which may also result in collections happening later in the day. Please leave your cart out and we will empty it as soon as possible.
- Residential streets may be hazardous and slow down collections along the routes. Please leave your cart out and we will empty it as soon as it is safe to do so.
Additionally, Bulky Waste services have been suspended this week. For those customers who were on the schedule, staff will work with you to reschedule your appointment. Regular trash and recycling routes and the normal collection schedule are expected to resume during the week of January 22.
We appreciate your patience and support. Thank you for understanding as we reconcile the dangerous wintry conditions with the safety of our employees.
