Trash/Recycling Collections for Thursday, February 25 and Friday, February 26 Postponed

Due to anticipated snowfalls and snow plowing preparations, we must postpone trash and recycling collections for Thursday, February 25 and Friday, February 26.  Residents who normally receive Thursday and Friday collections are urged to hold their trash and recyclables until the next scheduled collection day on Thursday, March 4 and Friday, March 5. 

Wednesday, February 24 collections will be completed on Saturday February 27 as trucks are being converted to snow plows. 

We regret this inconvenience and thank you in advance for you patience and cooperation during this anticipated major event. During major snow events Sanitation crews and equipment are diverted to snow removal efforts; trucks are converted to plow trucks as opposed to collection vehicles.

To prevent Sanitation trucks from being unable to access impassable driveways, residents who have rear driveway pickup on Monday and Tuesday are urged to set their trash and recycling out in front of their homes for curbside pickup.

If you have any questions regarding trash collection please call the Streets Department Customer Affairs Unit at 215-686-5560.  For all City Services dial 3-1-1.
