Holiday Sanitation Schedule Set

Posted on: December 20, 2012

With Christmas and New Year’s falling on Tuesdays this year, adjustments have been made to the regular sanitation schedule. ?Citizens who regularly have Monday pickup are asked to put their garbage cans out as early as possible on both Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve because an extra truck will be added that day.

Those citizens who have regular service on Tuesdays will have their pickup moved to Wednesday.
