Please note: that there is a possibility the dates of collection may change due to the volume of debris collected on a particular route. For example, if Monday's route has high volumes to collect, Tuesday's route may be delayed by one day or only part of Tuesday's route will be collected with the remainder being collected on Wednesday. Solid waste will be collected on your regularly scheduled date during spring clean up.
