⚠️ Service Update – December 26, 2025
Due to severe icy road conditions and ongoing freezing rain, Waste Management has suspended all collections today, Friday, December 26. Roadway conditions remain hazardous, making safe operation of collection vehicles impossible at this time.
Because of today’s suspension and the one‑day New Year holiday delay, the following communities will be serviced on Friday, January 2, 2026:
For the listed communities, Waste Management will collect extra trash and recycling next Friday if placed outside your carts:
Priority Waste will attempt collection today, Friday, December 26, in the following areas, weather permitting:
Please note that drivers will be proceeding slowly and cautiously due to the ongoing icy conditions.
Waste Management and Priority Waste drivers always prioritize safety. Severe weather may cause delays or cancellations. If your road is impassable, collection will resume on your next scheduled service day.
Driving a trash or recycling truck is not the same as driving a personal vehicle—collection trucks are heavy, tightly compacted, and can tip more easily on slick or uneven roads. Safety must come first.
Thank you for your patience and understanding. Please stay safe and use caution if you must travel. ❄️🧊
A friendly reminder to our MMWA member community residents. Due to the upcoming Christmas Day and New Year’s Day holidays, collection for Thursday and Friday service days will be delayed by one day.

Winter is making its presence known today! Some of our trucks have already encountered roads that aren’t safe to travel. Safety is always our top priority, so hazardous conditions may lead to delays or cancellations. If your street is impassable, service will resume on your next scheduled collection day.
A quick reminder: Driving a trash or recycling truck is very different from driving a car. These vehicles are extremely heavy, fully loaded, and can tip on slick or uneven roads—nobody wants to be the headline on tonight’s news!
If you’re unsure about your pickup or have questions, give us a call. Stay safe, take it slow, and thank you for your understanding!
