Though today's temperatures are slightly cooler, residual collection delays persist due to earlier heat indexes this week.
Solid Waste Services monitors weather forecasts and implements temporary measures to prevent staff injuries and illnesses when the heat index exceeds safe limits. During these incidents, some customers may experience minor collection delays.
The City requests that carts placed at the curb remain until they are serviced. No warnings or fines will be issued during these periods.
To assist collection crews in managing the heat, curbside customers are reminded to have their carts out for collection by 6:00 a.m. on their designated day. It is recommended to put the carts out the night before.
