Oregon Service Delays

Weather conditions may delay collection times. Please leave containers out until 6:00 PM.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we manage weather-related challenges.

Weather Interruption Procedures

Remove Snow
Accumulation.
To keep containers accessible, please remove snow and extra material from around or on top of them. If your street is snowy or icy, please move your container to a more accessible location to avoid postponed collection.

Clear Storm Drains
to Prevent Street Flooding:
As snow melts, water run-off can result in flooding, which further impedes collection. Please clear storm drains of snow and debris to prevent flooding.

There are no service delays reported at this time.
