Residents are asked to please be patient as trash collection continues following the recent snowstorm. Our waste hauler is working hard and making every effort to reach all areas as quickly and safely as possible. However, due to weather conditions and road accessibility, some neighborhoods may experience delays, and trash may not be collected on the regularly scheduled day. If your trash is not picked up as expected, please leave your trash at the curb. The hauler will be returning to service all affected areas, and all missed collections are expected to be completed later this week.
