Winter arrived early this year, and December has already brought several significant snow events. As snow and ice continue to accumulate, we are asking residents and businesses to help ensure safe access to garbage boxes, bins and collection areas.
Our collection staff require safe access to your waste boxes and bins. When access is obstructed by snow or ice, or when surfaces are slippery, collection may not be possible.
What you can do:
Taking a few minutes to prepare your collection area protects collection staff and helps keep waste services running smoothly for everyone throughout the winter season.
Thank you for your cooperation and for doing your part to support safe and reliable waste collection this winter.
