Waste Drop-off Facilities
To further support residents, waste drop-off facilities and temporary brush drop-off facilities will have extended operating days over the Easter long weekend. Many of our locations will be open on Friday, Saturday and Monday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; however, some sites will only be collecting brush during these revised hours of operation.
