Trash & Recycling

With temperatures rising and expected to remain high throughout the coming weeks, the Department of the Environment continues providing waste collection services to the public while following safety precautions for its employees working in the extreme heat. 

Note: daily waste collection services may be delayed while workers navigate the high temperatures. 

As a result, collections will begin one hour earlier between July 15 and September.
