Why might my collection have been missed?
  1. Emergencies such as wildfires can interfere with collection.
  2. Weather and road conditions or closures can delay collection.
  3. If the bin is so full that the lid does not shut, the automated trucks sometimes cannot hoist the bin. If so, please put aside some of that overflowing material for the next collection.
