Residential recycling scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 17 will not be collected until the next scheduled collection day, which is Thursday, Sept. 24.

Residents are advised to place cans by the curb Wednesday evening (tonight) for Thursday collection and to make sure cans are in an upright position. Any cans that are not upright will not be serviced until next service day.
