HAMPTON ROADS, Va. - As Tropical Storm Isaias nears coastal North Carolina and Virginia, cities around Hampton Roads and Northeastern North Carolina are changing their trash collection schedules.
Here's when you can expect trash pickup for your area:
Chesapeake
Due to severe weather associated with Tropical Storm Isaias forecast to impact our area on Tuesday, August 4, Public Works Waste Management will postpone curbside trash and recycling collection by one day this week. Tuesday collection routes will begin on Wednesday, August 5.
Residents should NOT place bins at the curbside until at least 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 4. Due to the delay in collection, residents should leave bins at the curbside until trash and recycling is collected.
Resumption of service is subject to change based on weather conditions and storm impacts. Any additional changes to trash and recycling collection will be announced as information becomes available.
Newport News
Solid waste collections (trash, recycling and bulk waste) will not take place on Tuesday, August 4. Collections will resume on Wednesday and will be delayed one day (Tuesday’s collections will take place on Wednesday, Wednesday’s on Thursday, and Thursday’s on Friday).
Residents are asked not to place bulk trash or yard debris at the curb, as it can block storm drains and cause flooding issues and to make sure cans are not at the curb and are safely secured.
Hampton
Tuesday’s trash and recycling pickups will be delayed until Wednesday.
People should not have cans or bulk waste at the street after Monday’s pickup, due to the high wind levels predicted.
