COVID-19 IMPORTANT MESSAGE Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as of March 30, 2020 all trash MUST be bagged before being placed in a bin or it will not be picked up.

This will ensure workers are protected from direct contact from trash and waste during the collection process. Receptacles with loose items will not be emptied.
