Collection Delay Information

Collection/Service Delay

 DPW has announced service changes due to the lingering effects of Monday’s snowstorm. Trash and recycling collections will be postponed on Tuesday, January 7, 2025, due to inclement weather and ongoing low temperatures. Rather than Tuesday’s collection being postponed until Saturday, Tuesday’s collection will resume on Wednesday, January 8, 2025. The remainder of the week’s trash and recycling pickups will also be postponed to the next day: 

  • Wednesday pickup is now Thursday
  • Thursday pickup is now Friday
  • Friday pickup is now Saturday

Mechanical Street Sweeping: Street sweeping operations remain suspended until further notice due to snow- and ice-filled curbs and temperatures that limit the effectiveness of equipment.

If trash and/or recycling collections and other solid waste services are delayed by weather conditions or staffing operations, DPW will notify residents on this web page and on its social media platforms.
