Frequently Asked Questions

Holidays and Weather-Related Schedule Changes

In the event that your trash is scheduled to be picked up on a HOLIDAY, your garbage will be picked up the following day.

For example – Thanksgiving week: Thursday Pick up will be done on Friday.  The Friday pickup will be done on Saturday. 

If the Holiday falls on a Saturday or a Sunday, the Schedule will not change for that week. 
In the event of service disruption due to weather, all pick-ups for that day and the remainer of the week will be made one day later.

Please place the trash container at the curb the night before your scheduled garbage pickup day, away from obstructions like streetlights, cars, trees, electrical poles, etc.

  • Leave 3 feet between containers
  • Handles should face towards your house
