Due to dangerously cold temperatures, DPW is suspending garbage and recycling collections for the rest of today Tuesday, January 16, 2024, as well as, limiting shifts tomorrow Wednesday, January 17, 2024. Crews will work on Saturday in order to catch up on service. To ensure service once collections resume, residents should clear snow and ice around and on top of their garbage and recycling carts – clearing a path for the cart to be rolled. Our North Drop-Off Center (6660 N Industrial Road) and our South Drop-Off Center (3879 W Lincoln Avenue) are also closed for the rest of today, but will resume operations tomorrow. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
