Inclement Weather Slide Schedule
Important Collection Information
While the County makes every effort to provide uninterrupted scheduled curbside trash, recycling, yard trim and food scraps collection services, these collections may at times experience service delays or cancellations due to severe inclement weather. When inclement weather is in the forecast, the Department of Public Works’ Bureau of Environmental Services monitors the weather and road conditions to determine if it is safe for crews to operate and if collections need to be delayed or cancelled. The safety of county residents and collection crews is the Bureau’s number one priority when making this determination.
The Bureau strives to make a decision regarding the continuation, delay or cancellation of curbside collection by 5:30 a.m. Once a decision has been made, the Bureau shares this information on its voicemail system, through its email list serve (click HERE to sign-up), on the County’s main social media pages (Facebook and X), on the Bureau’s X page and on the County’s website. If collections are cancelled for the day, the Bureau’s slide schedule will be implemented. When the slide schedule is in effect, collections will slide by one day (e.g., if Monday collections are cancelled, Monday will slide to Tuesday, Tuesday to Wednesday, Wednesday to Thursday and so forth).
To stay in the know when potential inclement weather is forecasted, be sure to visit the Bureau’s “Curbside Collections” website, County social media pages (Facebook and X) or sign up for the Bureau's email blasts for the most up-to-date guidance on curbside collections and more.
Slide Schedule
