Winter is here.
With winter comes snow storms, freezing rain, high winds, ice, and poor road conditions.
Trash and recycling collection is a service that persists all year long, and the conditions that come with winter often affect our ability to collect. While we try to provide outstanding reliable service to our customers regardless of weather or road conditions, there are some situations we cannot avoid.
We will be closed Monday, December 25th and Monday, January 1st.
We would like to wish a Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year, and hope for a fantastic 2024 for everyone!

We would ask all of our Monday and Tuesday customers to please set your container out Monday night, even if you suspect you will be collected on Wednesday. This is because it can be difficult to relay exactly what day each resident will be collected on when it comes to rural stops. We want to make sure everyone is picked up and avoid miscommunications.
We will not be able to return for containers that are set out late or due to a miscommunication. Please be sure to have your trash containers accessible either the night before, or by 4am.
