Winter Collection Reminders

During the winter months, bad weather, such as icy or heavy snow conditions, may occasionally present problems for your regularly scheduled garbage and recycling collection. Look for your Winter Collection Guide delivered to residents’ mailboxes! The Winter Collection Guide has helpful tips, as well as information and numbers you can contact if you have collection issues.
