High-Priority Services
The first phase of our plan focuses on resuming high-priority services to include Residential Recycling and Yard Waste Pickup Services. These services were temporarily suspended as a result of the coronavirus pandemic and in an effort to protect and ensure the safety of our employees. During phase one, we will focus on restoring these services while we continue providing other critical services that were uninterrupted (i.e. Police, Fire, Water and Sewer Services) and also preparing and modifying City facilities for the safe return of our remote workforce in future phases. Staff and visitors will continue: practicing social distancing, wearing face coverings and undergoing temperature checks and self-check tests. Heightened cleaning procedures will be followed.
