HURRICANE DORIAN SERVICE ALERT

Changes to Trash/Bulk/Recycling
  

• Due to the volume of material from Hurricane Dorian, bulk waste collection is still running behind. Bulk waste rules will continue to be suspended this week. Please place your items at the curb and leave them there. They will be collected as quickly as possible. Bulk trash collection will return to normal scheduled operations on Tuesday, Sept. 24. At that time, residents will be required to once again schedule bulk trash pickups by calling (757) 382-CITY, visiting the online service request form, or by using the City's service request mobile app

• Place debris in separate piles (woody debris, building materials, bulk waste, appliances, etc) at the edge of the street.  Be careful that limbs and branches do not extend into the roadway.  Keep yard waste piles no larger than 4 feet wide by 4 feet high by 6 feet long and all other waste piles no larger than 4 feet wide by 4 feet high by 10 feet long.  Bulk waste should be placed as close as possible to the curb or roadside and 3 feet away from any obstructions such as mailboxes, telephone poles, garbage containers, etc. Do not place items underneath overhead wires or tree limbs.  Do not block the passage of vehicles, pedestrians or drainage. Household waste and spoiled food should be bagged and placed inside a waste container.  Leaves and yard waste must be placed in clear plastic bags.  Colored bags will be collected with your household bulk waste. Household hazardous waste may NOT be placed for curbside collection.
