Thank You and Have a Safe Holiday!

HOLIDAY WEEKS: During holiday weeks, the collection schedule is delayed by one day following the holiday.
BLOCKED OR IMPROPER SET OUT: Sometimes trash or recycling can’t be collected because containers are blocked or were set out incorrectly. Check the cart service guidelines to make sure your containers were set out correctly.

If your trash, compost, or recycling was missed (and not for one of the above reasons), please call us at 311 (720-913-1311).
