City solid waste crews will pick up yard waste during only two of the four weeks in February.
Yard waste pickup will occur during the weeks beginning Monday, Feb. 10 and Monday, Feb. 24, skipping the weeks of Feb. 3 and Feb. 17.
“This change is a proactive measure to enhance operational efficiency and ensure our crews can focus on essential services during these winter months,” according to a city news release about the change.
“With recent inclement weather and the challenges it has brought, reallocating resources from yard waste collection will allow our teams to continue providing reliable solid waste and recycling services while also addressing areas that still require attention after recent storms,” the release continued.
Regular trash and recycling services will continue as usual.
