The order in which collection routes are run may vary and customers are reminded that collections may be earlier or later than they are accustomed to.
Crews will not return for items that were not placed out on time.
To ensure collections, customers are reminded to place ALL items at the designated spot by 6 a.m. on their designated collection days. Items that are placed out late, after crews have already gone through, must be held until the next regularly scheduled collection day.
Remember, collections begin as early as 6 a.m. and may continue as late as 9 p.m. Customers may call York City’s Public Works office at 843-1240 or 849-2245 the following day to report a missed collection.
