Please note after sending our crews out for collection this morning and evaluating conditions, we pulled our crews in. Understand that this is not an easy decision to make, and we need to take different factors into consideration.
Recovery collection for today will be your next scheduled collection day, Friday (2-16-2024)
(*If you have 1x per week collection, you will be collected on Friday, 2-16-2024 as well)
Reminders for Inclement Weather:
When there is a potential of inclement weather, we do not make any decisions about our collection schedule until that morning of the collection day.
When we are evaluating inclement weather, we have to take a few different factors into account.- How the current weather pattern at that time is performing
- How are the current road conditions
- Have the transfer station/Landfills change there operation times
- Any Local and/or State announcements
- Most importantly the safely of our drivers and crews
- If any time after that point the inclement weather starts after the drivers/crews start their routes. We will start to evaluate the intensity of the storm, road conditions, driver/crew feed back, and other items.
- If at any time during collection tomorrow we see conditions increasingly getting poor, we could potentially pull our drivers/crews over the roads for safety concerns.
- We will evaluate the intensity of the storm, road conditions and other items before sending our drivers/crews out.
If either situation above is the reality
- If we decide to bring in or not send the drivers/crews out the recovery collection for tomorrow would be your next schedule collection day, Friday (2-16-2024)
- Understand that when making a decision like this there is no easy answer. As we want to provide our best and most reliable service to all customers, we want to make sure that our drivers/crews are in safe working conditions.
Please keep in mind a few other items when dealing with inclement weather
- Please make sure to have all your solid waste bagged in your container(s) and out the night before collection.
- Drivers/Crews will not be able to come back to a street our area if they already were there in this instance.
If you have a driveway service or commercial service, Please make sure that there is a clear path to your container(s).
- Driveways or parking lots that not shoveled, plowed, or iced create more risk and issues to perform collection safely/correctly.
- Commercial services: please make sure your gated areas are not plowed in and regular accessible to open and close properly. The commercial containers are metal, with colder temperatures, rain, ice, or snow could make your the solid waste freeze inside the container.
- Road conditions and side street. There could be some Roads and side street hard for the trucks to drive down. Depending on Inclines/declines or if they need to back into the street. Yes, the trucks are larger than personal vehicles. But that does not mean they handle snow and ice better. All drivers we entrust to use their best judgement and thoughtful decision making.
- If you have Christmas trees or bulk schedule for collection , understand that they can't be buried under ice or snow. That could effect collection.
- We normally do not do delay start times for collections in inclement weather situations normally.
Please understand that we try not to make quick decisions on collection schedules when inclement weather is involved. We try to everything into account. While we always try to give all our customers our best service possible, we always want to make sure our drivers/crews are in safe conditions. Thank you for your attention as evaluate and navigate the potential storm.
We appreciate your business and allowing us to service your home, community, and business. Safe travels and have a nice day.
