Winter is a very unpredictable time of the year when it comes to the weather. If the weather conditions are severe, we will not risk putting people or property in danger. Our trucks may go in the 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 and shady 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) 774-4122. Although our office may be closed our collection drivers take only three days off during the year: Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years day. The following is our schedule for 2008: Regular Service Date: November 27 - Thanksgiving - is changed to: Holiday Service Date: November 28, Friday Regular Service Date: November 28 - Friday - is changed to: Holiday Service Date: November 29, Saturday Christmas and New Years Schedule: Regular Service Date: December 25 - Christmas - is changed to: Holiday Service Date: December 26, Friday Regular Service Date: December 26 - Friday - is changed to : Holiday Service Date: December 27, Saturday Regular service date: January 1 - New Years - is changed to: Holiday service date: January 2, Friday Regular service date: January 2 - Friday - is changed to: Holiday service date: January 3, Saturday 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 and placed loosely into your brown yard debris cart for recycling curbside. 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 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. |
