City Offices Closed On Labor Day |
Monday’s refuse and recycling will be collected on Tuesday, September 8, 2015, and Tuesday’s refuse and recycling will be collected on Wednesday, September 9, 2015. There will be no change to Wednesday’s refuse or recycling collection.
There will be no Residential Special Pickup or Yard Debris collection the week of September 7, 2015. The next collection date will be on Wednesday, September 16, 2015. You can schedule a Residential Special Pickup and Yard Debris Pickup by e-mailing dpw@laurel.md.us, using the MyLaurel App or calling the Department of Public Works at 301-725-0088.
I would like to remind everyone that City Code does not allow refuse or recycling to be placed out to the curb for collection until after 7:30 p.m. the night before the scheduled collection. City Code also states that all refuse and recycling containers must be returned by 7:30 p.m. the day of the collection to either your garage or placed in the rear of your home. To do so earlier on the day before collection or later on the day of collection, is a violation of City Code and subject to citation.
The City also asks that you please make sure your refuse and recyclables are secured from blowing away in high wind situations.
Thank you for your cooperation and we wish you a safe and happy Labor Day. |
