Special Schedule Adjustments:

  • Thanksgiving Closure: There will be no waste collection services on Thursday, Nov. 23, and Friday, Nov. 24.

Yard Waste Collection Heads-up:

  • Our crews will do their best to collect all yard waste bags and bundles on Wednesday. If yours isn’t picked up, don’t worry! Just leave them out, and they’ll be taken care of the following week.

Businesses Note:
