​Service delays week of april 8 due to solar eclipse

​Garbage and recycle collections will be delayed one day for all customers the week of April 8. Monday routes will be serviced on Tuesday, Tuesday routes on Wednesday, Wednesday routes on Thursday, Thursday routes on Friday, and Friday routes on Saturday.

Sanitation will not conduct garbage, recycle, or brush and bulky waste collections on Monday, April 8, due to the total solar eclipse that will occur that day. Information provided to Sanitation by the City’s Office of Emergency Management, in coordination with state and local law enforcement and transportation agencies, indicates that severe traffic will impact mobility on local freeways and other major arterials, which are essential for transporting solid waste to disposal sites. The potential for loaded solid waste vehicles to be immobilized due to severe traffic congestion for long periods presents safety hazards, and may lead to waste backups at transfer stations, presenting further hazards and compliance issues.

McCommas Bluff Landfill and Sanitation's transfer stations will be open on April 8 during normal business hours. Click here or more information about Sanitation's disposal sites.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
