Due to a change in the trash collection schedule, any trash that was missed on Wednesday, December 20, will still be collected by Public Works crews on Friday. The regular Friday collection for December 22 was moved to Wednesday, December 20, in light of the upcoming holiday and administrative day.

For residents whose regular trash collection day is Friday and their trash was not collected on Wednesday, Public Works advises them to put their bins out on Friday morning by 7 a.m., and the crews will make the collections.

In addition to the changes in the trash collection schedule, the Christmas and New Year's holidays will also affect city offices and services in the week ahead. City offices will be closed on Friday, December 22, for an administrative day, as well as on Monday, December 25, for Christmas, and on Monday, January 1, for New Year's Day.

Instead, Friday's collections will be made on Wednesday, December 20, and Monday's collections will be made on Wednesday, December 27. There will be no collections made on Monday, January 1, with that day's collections being made on Wednesday, January 3.
