Camas Lux Nest & Beyond

As Labor Day approaches, residents of Camas are advised of important changes to the regular waste collection schedule. The City of Camas has announced that there will be no garbage collection services on Monday, September 1, 2023, as the community observes Labor Day. This temporary service adjustment will affect all Monday route customers throughout the city, requiring them to prepare for a one-day delay in their normal pickup schedule.

According to city officials, all Monday garbage customers will instead receive collection services on Tuesday, September 2. This means Tuesday will see an increased collection volume as crews handle both Monday’s and Tuesday’s regular routes on the same day. Residents are encouraged to place their garbage containers at the curb by 6:00 AM on Tuesday to ensure collection, as trucks may arrive earlier or later than usual due to the consolidated schedule.

For residents who receive recycling and yard debris collection services through Waste Connections, a separate holiday schedule will be in effect. The city advises these customers to consult the Waste Connections website at www.wcnorthwest.com for specific information regarding their adjusted collection times. The recycling and yard debris collection schedules often differ from regular garbage service adjustments, making it important for residents to verify their specific pickup dates.

Additionally, some Camas residents receive their primary garbage collection services through Waste Connections rather than directly through the city. These households should also visit the Waste Connections website for detailed information about all their service adjustments during the holiday period. The city emphasizes the importance of checking these schedules to avoid confusion and ensure proper waste management during the holiday week.

In the event of inclement weather coinciding with the holiday-adjusted collection schedule, residents should be prepared for potential additional delays. The City of Camas prioritizes the safety of collection crews and will postpone service if streets cannot be navigated safely during adverse weather conditions. When such situations occur, the city will implement weather-related contingency plans that may further alter the collection schedule beyond the holiday adjustments.

For the most current information regarding weather-related service changes, residents are encouraged to visit the City of Camas website at https://www.cityofcamas.us/publicworks/page/garbage-services. This resource provides real-time updates on collection status and any modifications to emergency services. The Public Works Department extends its appreciation to all Camas residents for their understanding and flexibility during holiday periods. It wishes everyone a safe Labor Day weekend while it works to maintain essential waste management services for the community.
