Background/Discussion
When the temperature is forecast to be near 100 degrees, upon mutual agreement with the City’s contract agent and the City, solid waste collection is allowed to start before 7:00 a.m. This is done to enhance worker safety and efficiency.
Notification of early collection is distributed to City residents via local media, the City’s Facebook page, the City's website and the Recycle Coach app.
Typically, the early collections occur during periods of high heat during July and August.
