During periods of inclement weather, Republic Services may cancel weekly pickup service if it is not safe to drive parts of their pickup route. If service is canceled, they send out notifications to customers warning of the change in pickup service. If you did not receive a notification about these changes last month, please take a moment to sign up for the notification service. Information explaining how to do so can be found here: https://beauxarts-wa.gov/franchise-utilities . Scroll partway down the page to Republic Services for a full description.
