The 2025 schedule divides the city into eight numbered zones, each assigned a primary collection day that repeats on a weekly or bi‑weekly cycle depending on the service type. Residential trash follows a weekly rhythm, recycling operates on a bi‑weekly cadence, and bulk or yard waste is collected monthly on a designated “green” day. This systematic rotation balances load distribution and minimizes missed pickups.
Exceptions are built into the timetable to accommodate public holidays, school vacations, and seasonal weather patterns. When a scheduled day coincides with a recognized holiday, service shifts to the preceding business day, and a supplemental notice is posted on the department’s website. Additionally, the summer months introduce an extra bulk‑pickup window to handle increased yard waste, while winter sees a temporary reduction in recycling frequency in high‑snowfall districts.
