BAD WEATHER POLICY
Winter is a very unpredictable time of the year when it comes to weather. If the weather conditions are severe, we will not risk putting people or property in danger. Our trucks may go in snow and ice, but because of their size and weight they will not always stop when and where we want them to. Also, some of our hilly neighborhoods are considerably more difficult to get to and serve during bad weather.
If your pickup day is more than one day late due to weather conditions, chances are we will not make up your service until the following week. We will take double your service amount at that time with no extra charge.
We will keep you posted of any interruptions in our service schedule due to bad weather as they arise. If you have any questions, please call our office at 503-666-3488.
RESIDENTIAL HOLIDAY SCHEDULE AND RECYCLING INFORMATION
Although our office may be closed our collection drivers only take two days off during the year: Christmas and New Years day. These days happen to fall on a weekend this year, so collection times and days will not be changed due to the holiday schedule.
When recycling holiday wrap and boxes, please remember no ribbon, bows, or packing material that is not paper. Also, no plastic bags or film. Christmas trees are recyclable but must be cut down or bundled to 6' in height. Many charities will have drop off locations and will accept your tree whole. Watch for one of these locations near you.
Extra garbage may be placed in plastic bags and set next to your garbage can or cart. Please do not use your recycling or yard debris cart as an extra garbage can.
Thank you for your cooperation in making these adjustments during the holidays. Our staff and collection drivers all wish you and your family a very joyous, safe, and warm holiday season.
