If weather conditions prevent safe collection, we will announce service cancellations on local radio and television stations and on our Collection Delay Bulletin Board.

If residential garbage, recycling or yard waste is not collected due to weather, please remove containers from the street. Up to twice as much material will be accepted with no extra charge on the next regularly scheduled collection day for each container not emptied unless otherwise posted here. Credit is not given for collection delayed because of weather.
