Regular household garbage will be collected first and then cleanup will begin. There will be one pass per street. Tires, electronics, recyclables and construction debris will not be collected. Paint must be dried in the can to be eligible for collection. Brush will be collected as the DPW schedule and weather allows. The trucks have all been set up for winter weather and keeping the streets clear is the priority. If you have brush as a result of the windstorm, please pile it behind the sidewalk so that it doesn't impede plowing. Thank you for your cooperation!
