Collection/Service Delay
Updated Tuesday, February 11, 2025, 10 a.m :
Street Sweeping Suspended Due to Impending Winter Weather
Snow is on the way, but DPW is on track to continue trash and recycling collection as scheduled today, Tuesday, Feb. 11. Please keep in mind that collection may take longer than usual as we prioritize crew safety and adjust to changing weather conditions. If your pickup is missed, please keep the lid on your bin and leave it out—we’ll get to you as soon as possible. If your collection hasn’t been completed by 5 PM, please call 311 to report it.
Due to the approaching winter storm, mechanical street sweeping is canceled on Tuesday, Feb. 11, Wednesday, Feb. 12, and Thursday, Feb. 13. Snow- and ice-filled curbs, along with colder-than-normal temperatures, make street sweeping equipment ineffective.
For the latest updates on DPW service cancellations related to this week’s winter storm, please check this page regularly and follow us on social media.
How You Can Help:
Residents are encouraged to take the following steps:
- Report missed trash or recycling collections by calling 311.
- Report ice-covered alleys to help crews identify and address problem areas.
- Keep your trash and recycling secured in containers with tight-fitting lids and leave them in place until collections are completed.
Thank you for your cooperation as we continue working to maintain essential services and keep our neighborhoods clean and safe!
If trash and/or recycling collections and other solid waste services are delayed by weather conditions or staffing operations, DPW will notify residents on this web page and on its social media platforms. |
