Please be advised of the following schedule changes and updates due to the inclement weather forecast for the Summit area beginning tonight, February 12.
Public Works and Transfer Station
The Municipal Transfer Station will have a delayed opening at 12PM on Tuesday, February 13, to allow crews to assist in snow removal operations. At this time there is no change to trash and recycling services for Tuesday, February 13. Please clear a path for crews to access trash containers. If containers are not accessible, crews will not remove trash.
Division of Public Works staff has decided not to brine city streets at this time due to the potential for rain in advance of the predicted snow. DPW crews will assess and treat city streets late tonight if conditions require doing so.
