Residents who have regular Tuesday trash service need to put their trash and recycling carts back out on Saturday, Oct. 31. All other residents should expect delays. Put your trash or recycling out on the normal day, and leave it out until crews can get to them.

For those with tree damage, do not put any limbs out with your regular bulky waste. The City is setting up a special tree limb removal program that will start in November.
