7:45 a.m.: Our collection contractor Emterra advises that curbside garbage and yard waste collection crews are out providing regular Friday collection today, January 17.

Safety always comes first, though, so in the event the collection status changes, or collection is delayed, we will post an update.

Emterra Environmental has ceased all collection activity for waste collection today, Thursday January 16, due to weather and snow accumulation. This includes all Front-End commercial bins as well as all residential curb-side routes.

Today’s residential pickup will be postponed until next Thursday January 23, when you can put out an extra can or bag of garbage free of charge.

Front-End commercial pickup is expected to resume tomorrow, playing catch-up from the previous day's missed collection.

Thank you for your understanding.
