We understand many residents are frustrated by delayed trash, recycling, and yard waste collection. The City is aware that Priority Waste is currently running behind schedule and has been in communication with them regarding these service delays.

Priority Waste is working to catch up on missed collections, and at this time, the expectation is that all trash, recycling, and yard waste routes will be completed and brought up to date by the weekend.

We appreciate everyone's patience and understanding as crews work through the backlog. We know these delays are inconvenient, and we will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as they become available.

Thank you for your continued patience and cooperation.
