Details will be presented on the waste collection service changes that begin the week of Halloween including the new weekly Green Bin service, bi-weekly garbage collection and the requirement to use clear bags for curbside garbage collection. Recycling collection will remain on a weekly schedule according to the City.

Citizens can ask questions to City staff and discuss the service changes.

The new Green Bin service will reduce the amount of garbage going to the landfill which extends the life of the landfill and reduces greenhouse gas emissions as stated in a press release.

Roughly 8,000 households are having their waste collection day shift with the re-balancing of collection routes to improve service reliability and safety for sanitation workers to do the curbside collection. Residents can check their collection day using the online tool.
