Sanitation Dept. Announces Delayed Collections for the Week of Jan. 26

In preparation for the snow, Sanitation crews and equipment will be diverted to snow operations.

  • Crews will complete collections on Saturday, January 24.
  • Trash and recycling collections will be suspended on Monday, January 26. Collections will be one day behind for the remainder of the week.
  • There will be no collections in rear driveways for the remainder of the week. Residents are instructed to set materials out in front of their homes for pickup during the week of January 26. Icy driveways can hinder trash compactors mobility.
  • Second trash collection in areas of the city that normally receive it is suspended the week of January 26. There will be one collection only for the entire city.
  • Residents should expect collection delays as crews navigate through the snow and ice. As significant snow accumulations are expected with this snow event, the collection schedule for the week may be altered. Continuation of trash and recycling collections will be contingent upon the impact of the snow and the progression of plowing operations.
  • Residents who are unable to hold their materials can drop them off at one of the City’s six Sanitation Convenience Centers open Monday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. See a list of locations.
