Residents who typically have their trash and recycling collected on Mondays are advised to place their carts at the curb by 6:30 a.m. on Tuesday, September 2, 2025. Those with Tuesday collection should also set out their carts by 6:30 a.m. on the same day. The division notes that carts set out after this time may not be picked up.
