Collection Schedule


Weather Notice

Collection services may be impacted due to snow accumulation and icy side streets. Here are a few ways you can help recycling and garbage collection during winter weather:

  • Keep the tops of your carts clear of snow so carts can be opened easily by collection crews
  • If possible, help collection crews by ensuring the path to your carts is clear of snow or ice
Thank you for your patience while our crews work through the difficult weather conditions to collect garbage and recycling materials safely.
