Preparing for Winter Weather

Snowfall accumulations can impact collection services. Here are a few ways you can help recycling and garbage collection during winter weather:

  • For the most up to date service information, please visit the Collection Schedule page
  • 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
