TRASH HOLIDAYS
For some holidays, trash and recycling pickup will be delayed one day from the date of the holiday through the remainder of the week. Please refer to the Around Town Newsletter for updated information on trash & recycling holidays.
If a holiday is not listed, trash pick will remain on regular schedule that week!!
