February 14, 2014 - collections cancelled, due to snow

Montgomery County-provided recycling and trash collections have been cancelled for Friday, February 14, 2014. The Shady Grove Transfer Station will be open with normal hours.

Although snow crews are working very hard to clear our streets, many residential neighborhoods have not been plowed. For the safety of our residents and our collectors, we will not “slide” Thursday and Friday’s schedule through the weekend. There will be no trash or recycling collection on Saturday and Sunday.

If you had paper recycling cart repairs or pickups scheduled for February 13 or 14, we will make those on February 18 and 19, 2014.

Monday, February 17, 2014, is Presidents Day, a Montgomery County holiday, so no collection services will be provided that day. That week's schedule remains as we previously announced:
