One Way Trash

Good morning everyone!

As many may have noticed, the roads are extremely icy and are posing a great risk to the safety of our employees. We are monitoring routes as we move through the morning to see if roads warm up and may need to make more cancellations.

Pinebrook hills is being rescheduled. Please check your email for more information if you are on this route.

All other routes are currently running delayed. In the event we make changes to a route, we will notify those affected via email.

Our apologies for the inconvenience and we look forward to getting back on the road when it’s safe.

Good morning everyone,

As of 5:57AM, hwy 119 and 6th are not plowed well enough for us to get through for services, if plowed at all. The following areas that are set for services today will not be collected:

Black Hawk
Central City
Magnolia
Nederland
Sugarloaf
Riverside

These routes are being rescheduled to this coming Saturday, 01/08/2022.

The route we run in Lyons today will be done to the best of the drivers ability. If we are unable to get everyone on this route due to impassable roads, we will be unable to reschedule. Those folks will, unfortunately, have to wait until next week for pickup.

All Firestone routes will be ran as regularly scheduled today.

We appreciate everyone's understanding in the matter as we are making these necessary decisions to keep our staff, our equipment, and your communities safe.

Stay warm, stay safe, and everyone enjoy this beautiful snow! Colorado NEEDS this moisture so we're more than happy to see it fall, despite its inconveniences.

Good morning everyone!

Another friendly reminder about our holiday schedule: We WILL NOT be delayed this week due to New Years. All Friday routes will be collected on Friday.

Also, if you haven't already looked into it, please remember that wrapping paper is not recyclable in most cases. Wrapping paper is typically very low grade material with high ink/clay content and is considered a contaminant at the BCRC. Collection crews are currently putting the wrapping paper in the trash to keep our recycling loads as clean as possible. If you prefer the crews leave your container behind for you to sort out, please let our office know so we can pass the message on.

The Ecocycle CHaRM facility and the Longmont Waste Diversion Center will temporarily accept wrapping paper from Dec 26-Jan 31.
