June 28, 2021: Curbside Collection Delays or Cancellations Due to Heat

Due to the extreme high temperatures, and concerns for the health and safety of collection crews, please expect delays or cancellations with curbside collection this week.

If crews are able to work on your designated collection day, the priority will be garbage collection, followed by recycling, then yard waste.

In the event collection of any of these materials is not completed this week, please hold on to your materials until your next collection day. We thank you for your understanding, please stay safe in this heat!
