Republic Services expects to fully resume waste and recycling collection services tomorrow, December 17. They have reached a tentative agreement and workers were off the picket line this morning. In the coming days, expect to see service start to normalize and get better each day into next week.
The trash drop-off bins located throughout the City will remain in place over the next few days to help alleviate impacts from the delay in trash collection service. Below is more detailed information on what to expect for trash collection service over the next few days.
Throughout the delay in trash service, the City has been advocating for our community. We appreciate everyone’s patience and willingness to work together. Help us share this good news with your neighbors and friends!
