The department will not be collecting bulky, hazardous nor yard waste during this period, ONLY residential waste. Recyclables will not be collected during this period. Residents are urged to stockpile items until the curfew is ended.
Residents can help with collection by placing garbage bags in a suitable container at the edge of the respective property on the morning of collection day; store garbage in a safe place out of the reach of stray animals and spray sealed garbage bags with disinfectant to help reduce the risk of exposure to trash collectors.
