Garbage, recycling and green can collection

There is no change to curbside garbage, recycling or green can collection due to COVID-19. Please set out your items by 7:30 a.m. on your regularly scheduled collection date. To help prevent the spread of COVID-19 and protect our waste collection staff:

• please ensure that all personal hygiene products, used tissues, cleaning cloths, face masks, gloves, and similar items are disposed of in garbage bags.
• securely tie garbage bags. Un-bagged or loose items will not be collected.

Need replacement recycling bags, blue boxes, grey boxes or extra garbage tags? Learn more.

Blue Bus

Given the extent of transit service suspensions across our network, we ask customers to only travel on transit if necessary, so space remains available for our essential service workers. 

Please wear a mask.
