WEATHER-EMERGENCY SERVICE DISRUPTIONS
ALERT: All Curbside Recycling Customers

Over the recent extended period of extreme weather,
~ heavy, blowing, and drifting snows;
~ windchill warnings; and
~ icing due to freezing rains
have repeatedly disrupted curbside service. We run the routes in all but the most extreme weather, however, to prevent accidents and/or frostbite, several times we have had to take the trucks off the roads mid-day or cancel a day’s routes entirely. Some neighborhoods, in particular, have been missed due to slippery hills and local snowplowing issues. These disruptions are frustrating all around; please rest assured that we are committed to minimizing them!

If your recyclables are not picked up during extreme weather, please:

hold on to them and set them back out on your usual collection day the next week, or
take some or all of the materials to one of the Recycling Drop-off Sites when the weather has improved.

Thank you for recycling with us!
