The Mayor of Cortland has some updates for you!

IMPORTANT UPDATE FROM LRS 1/13/2024! They indeed are going to offer a pickup prior to Friday. LRS - DC Recycling

Mon & Tues, Jan 15th & 16th, with weather permitting, LRS will send crews through Cortland to recover uncollected refuse from Friday, Jan 12th due to the snow storm.

Please have everything curbside on Monday by 6 am.

Pick up may be anytime Monday or Tuesday as they work through these wintery conditions for the safest approach to recover.

Given freezing temps, bear with LRS crews dealing with frozen ‘stuff’!

Frozen Christmas Trees may be left and collected the following week (or when they are defrosted enough to safely remove).

Please make sure your carts are upright, lid opening facing the street, with a clear path for drivers to access and place carts/cans back down.

If you prefer to wait until your regular pick up on Friday, Jan 19th to put it all out, no problem - LRS will pick it up.

LRS and the Town of Cortland would like to thank you for your patience and understanding!

❄️ More Winter Weather Updates ❄️

City of Wheaton Government shared some updates from our team! We are re-posting here in case you missed it!

Update Regarding Garbage/Recycling Pickup for Friday Routes:

Due to the heavy snow this morning, LRS suspended its garbage/recycling pickup operations partway through service routes to ensure the safety of its drivers. As a result, some Friday routes in Wheaton did not receive garbage/recycling service or pickup of their live Christmas tree.

With severe winter weather conditions expected to continue into Saturday, LRS will be unable to complete these routes this weekend, and garbage and recycling carts should be brought in from the curb. LRS is asking Wheaton residents who did not receive their usual service today to hold onto their garbage, recycling and live Christmas trees until next week on your normal pickup day.

If you have more garbage or recyclables than will fit in your blue carts on Jan. 19, LRS will collect a reasonable amount of garbage/recycled materials that are placed next to the appropriate blue carts in a contained manner (ex: garbage in a bag, recycled materials in a box or other appropriate container). Stickers are not required for the items outside the carts. Christmas tree pickup will be extended for one more week for Friday routes and do not require a sticker to be picked up Jan. 19.

Thank you for your understanding during these extraordinary circumstances.
