Refuse and Recycling Collection
Trash and Recycling pickup is still suspended.
However, once it resumes, we will service all in the community.
It is imperative that citizens wait until the snowfall has ended to ensure proper service, as materials can be covered in snow and possibly missed.
Citizens may also consider making pathways to the street, in intervals at least, to assist our workers in collecting safely.
PLEASE NOTE:
Neighbors, please avoid putting snow ❄ back into the streets after being plowed. It increases icy conditions, especially overnight.
