Your collection service will either be on Monday and Thursday OR on Tuesday and Friday, depending on where you live and whether you have alley container service or roll cart service.
Yard waste is currently being collected weekly during the Spring, Summer and Fall months. Yard Waste Collection is discontinued during Winter months. Collection resumes the first full week in March.
Holidays impact the collection schedule. During holiday weeks, roll cart collection changes, and yard waste is not picked up. A Trash Schedule announcement is published site-wide with the trash collection details for that holiday week. To prepare ahead, view the detailed Holiday schedule for date changes.
