Solid Waste Collection for January 22, 2020
Posted on
On Wednesday, January 22, 2020 one can of garbage, unlimited recycling and unlimited organics/yard waste will be collected from single family residences in Cumberland, in lieu of cancelled collection service on January 15. The regular collection schedule will resume next week, January 29.
The collection contractor Waste Management thanks Cumberland residents for their patience during last week’s weather conditions that resulted in the cancellation of waste collection.
