Unfortunately, Republic Services was unable to finish all Thursday stops and plan to service these customers on Friday.
Republic Services plans to run the Friday trash route on Sunday, 7/13. Several drivers will be in town, and they will be running early so we ask that residents please have their cans out by 5am on Sunday morning to ensure they are serviced.
Thank you for your patience through this labor dispute.
Please contact Republic Services at 1-800-299-4898 with any questions or concerns.
