New Waste Collection Schedule

Changes are coming to our waste collection schedule starting on MONDAY, July 7, 2025!

Based on your voting ward, trash and recycling will now be collected on the same day (but still by different trucks). Ward 1 will be collected on Mondays, Ward 2 on Tuesdays, Ward 3 on Wednesdays, and Ward 4 on Thursdays. Friday will be a city-wide yard waste collection day.
