Weather and road condition resources
Garbage and organics collection during severe winter weather
Our crews make every effort to collect garbage and organics as scheduled when it snows, or roads are extremely icy.
However, service may be halted if road conditions pose a safety risk to collection staff, other road users and personal property.
Weather-related service disruption
If bad weather conditions prevent us from collecting your bins as scheduled, please remove your carts from the curb and set them out again on the next scheduled pick-up day.
