🌨️🚛 Trash collections are on schedule, but icy alleys are causing delays. DPW crews are collaborating with salting teams to address missed collections daily.

With warmer temps expected this weekend, our goal is to close out all service requests soon. Thank you for your patience!

We understand how frustrating it can be to experience trash and recycling delays and we want you to know we’re on it! Recent snow and freezing temperatures required DPW to shift resources to clear roads and keep streets safe. While we’ve made significant progress with trash, recycling, and food waste collections, a few households are still awaiting service. Your concerns are our priority, and we’re working hard to catch up. Thank you for your patience—collections will once again slide to the next day all this week due to Monday's holiday, but our team is on the way!

🚛 Trash Collection Update! Recent snow made some alleys unsafe, causing delays in trash, recycling, and food waste collections. To get back on track:

✅ Hold your recycling until next week.
✅ Most households that normally receive two trash collections will receive one collection this week.
✅ Place green trash bins out on your slide day schedule (1 day later than normal).

We’re working hard to restore service by Jan. 13. Thank you for understanding as we prepare for more snow this weekend.

❄️ Remember to shovel your sidewalks!

Un-shoveled snow can create safety hazards that result in falls and injuries. For the safety of all residents and business owners, DPW wants to remind citizens that it is their responsibility to shovel snow from their property within the first eight hours after a snow event.

Let’s work together to keep our community safe and accessible for all.

❄️ Leaf Collection Update: While much of DPW’s focus has been on snow removal to ensure safe streets, another snow event is expected Friday night into Saturday morning, with temperatures staying below freezing. 🌨️

This weather greatly impacts the efficiency of our crews in collecting leaves. For now, leaf collection remains suspended until the snow and ice clear.
