Normal landfill business hours and operations will resume on Monday, January 25, with the DSWM site open from 7a.m. until 4:30 p.m.
For curbside recycling, please be aware that weather conditions may cause some streets to still be inaccessible for collection trucks next week; drivers will attempt to collect recyclables wherever possible. If road conditions prevent recycling collection along a particular street, residents are asked to leave their carts out until the next day, as drivers will attempt to collect again.
