GARBAGE & RECYCLING SERVICE RESUMES
on Thursday, February 5, 2026
The residential garbage truck had a mechanical failure on January 28, 2026, and became inoperable. To limit the interruption in service, crews modified a commercial truck to collect garbage on the residential route. However, the modified truck could only collect garbage, not recycling. Residents have been without recycling collection for a week.
As of today, the City has been successful in obtaining a temporary replacement vehicle. Regular residential collection, including recycling, will resume on Thursday, February 5, 2026.
The missed commercial collection on Wednesday, February 4, 2026, will instead be collected on Thursday, February 5, 2026.
The City apologizes for the inconvenience.
