Spring Cleanup/Bulk Curbside Pickup DELAYED – As announced previously, due to the COVID-19 State of Emergency restrictions, the Spring Curbside Bulk pickup was delayed. Following conversations with the contractor, the collection is expected to be rescheduled for late spring. The schedule by zone will be announced mid-May. To ensure the safety of pedestrians and bicyclists and to prevent flooding, no bulk items may be curbside at this time.  The new dates will be sent to residents via email, posted on the website, social media, and sent via SWIFT 911.
