Collection Delay
Though today's temperatures are a little cooler, we are experiencing residual collection delays due to the heat indexes earlier in the week.
Solid Waste Services monitors weather forecasts and implements temporary measures to combat staff injuries and illnesses when the heat index exceeds safe limits. During these weather-related incidents, some customers may experience minor collection delays.
We request that carts placed at the curb remain until they are serviced. The City will not issue warnings or fines during these periods.
Have Your Carts on the Curb by 6 a.m.
To assist our collection crews with beating the heat, we remind curbside customers to please have their carts out for collection by 6:00 a.m. on your collection day. The best thing to do is put your carts out the night before.
