What to do with your trash when it snows
Crews have a tough time reaching trash barrels and recycling carts behind snow banks. Please clear an area at the curb, or put containers next to or in front of snow banks.
By making it easier to reach containers, our workers can have quick and safe collections. If you have any questions or concerns, please call 311.
