Mayor-President Sharon Weston Broome encourages residents with Monday garbage, recycling, and hand pile services to place carts and hand piles by the road early ahead of any impacts from Tropical Storm Sally. Garbage pickup will begin at 4:00 a.m. Monday and hand pile collections will start at 5:00 a.m. Recycling collections will also begin around 5:00 a.m. and woody waste pickups will begin at 5:30 a.m.

This will enable Republic Services to collect the majority of the Monday service area before conditions could cause a stoppage of service for the safety of Republic’s workers.

Residents are asked to have their carts out tonight. There will not be any returns for service until the next service day.

Once serviced, residents are urged to bring their carts inside or place near their home.
