Inclement Weather Update for Thursday, February 3, 2022
Waste Management trucks will attempt collection in all communities today, but due to icy roads, some areas may not be safe for trash and recycling drivers to access. Roads/areas found to be impassable when the truck goes by will not have collection service reattempts until the regular collection day next week. Residents who set out materials that are not picked up are asked to remove materials from the curb until their service day next week.
