Because of the range of severity and duration in weather disruptions, it is impossible to predict when a collection route might be eventually completed, as it could occur (in the worst case) several days later. If your garbage collection day is disrupted by inclement weather, garbage and recycling collection will be postponed until it can be safely resumed, and any subsequent collection day in that same week will also be postponed.įor example, if your collection day falls on Thursday, and it is not collected due to the weather, Thursday’s collection could occur on Friday and Friday’s collection could occur on Saturday, weather permitting. Items Not Accepted: View the Waste Wizard above to search accepted recycling items.Boxes: Chipboard (like shirt boxes) and corrugated cardboard are accepted, and should be flattened and broken down.
