How will garbage, recycling, bulk trash, or yard waste pick-up occur if the street in front of my house is blocked due to construction?
In most cases the contractor will be able to move the road barricades to allow access for the pickup. However, in a few cases the construction activity may completely block the roadway limiting access for the trash collection trucks. In this case, the contractor will move the collection cart or recycling bin to the end of the street and will return it after the pick-up has occurred. To ensure that the correct cart or bin is returned to you, the contractor may place a piece of masking tape or other temporary marking on your cart or bin noting your house number or other identification. If you see this type of identification on your cart or bin, please leave it in place until the construction is complete on your street. In the case of bulk trash or yard waste, the contractor may move the material to a location where the collection truck can access it. In addition, during construction the sanitation crews may service your area at an earlier time than you normally expect them to be there. T
