Changes to Refuse and Recyclables Collection Because of Inclement Weather or Mechanical Failure
Either inclement weather or mechanical failure may result in the delay of refuse and recyclables collection by Republic Services (Berryville’s refuse and recyclables collection contractor).
Inclement Weather
Inclement weather will result in collection delays if the Frederick County Landfill is closed or it is determined that road conditions will not permit the safe operation of collection vehicles.
Both of the scenarios described above are not usually known by the Town and its contractor until the morning during which collection is scheduled. Accordingly, residents are asked to monitor the Town’s website for updates. Generally, in such instances information is posted by 9:30 a.m.
When collections cannot occur on scheduled days, collection is generally delayed by one day.
When collections are delayed, residents may want to move toters from the curb so they do not interfere with snowplowing operations. Toters should be placed at the curb again for collection the next morning.
Mechanical Failures
If a refuse or recyclables collection vehicle breaks down or experiences mechanical problems, it is possible that collection will be delayed. If such a mechanical-failure delay occurs, the Town will post a notice about this matter on its website.
