PUBLIC NOTICE – FY11 Solid Waste Changes

The Office of Solid Waste Services is implementing collection changes in accordance with the FY11 budget.  Effective September 13, 2011 weekly collection of yard trimmings will change to every other week based on the day of household garbage collection.   A calendar will be distributed to solid waste customers over the next few weeks.
