City waste management crews will provide expanded trash collection services from Friday, December 26, until Thursday, January 8. During the expanded collection, boxes and bagged trash left beside the automated containers will be collected during the regular pickup.
Residents are reminded that boxes displaying labels from expensive gifts – computers, televisions, etc. – are an invitation to crime. Boxes should be flattened prior to being placed at the curb. This will both conceal their former contents and make disposal easier.
“Live” Christmas trees may be placed at the curbside for collection with other yard waste beginning Friday, December 26. Trees must be free of all stands, lights, ornaments and decorations prior to being placed at the curb.
Residents who need more information should call the Customer Contact Center at 382-CITY (382-2489)during normal business hours or visit CityOfChesapeake.net at any time.
