Yard waste/organics materials placed at the curb on Friday, Jan. 14, 2022, will not be collected.

Due to the winter weather advisory, the collection of the yellow-lid yard waste/organics carts will be suspended to divert all staff for garbage/recycling collection. This will help garbage collection staff complete their routes prior to the snowstorm.

Organics/yard waste normally collected on Jan. 14 will be collected on Jan. 21, 2021.

To ensure your curbside materials are collected safely and successfully throughout the winter season, follow these tips:

Place carts or containers on a solid surface for pickup, such as the end of your driveway or the edge of the right-of-way. Do not place carts on a snowbank or in the street. Have carts at the curb by 7 a.m. on your regular collection day for pickup. Do not overfill carts. City ordinance states the lids must be closed. Keep at least a 3-feet clear zone around each cart. Keep recycling materials loose—no plastic bags! Also, no glass or Styrofoam.
