Winter Weather Delays Waste Collection Until Next Week

Vancouver, WA – Bad weather throughout Clark County will delay regularly scheduled garbage, recycling and yard debris collection services today. Collections missed today will be handled next week, according to the Clark County Regional Solid Waste Program.

This schedule change will affect unincorporated Clark County and the cities of Vancouver, Battle Ground, Camas, La Center and Ridgefield and the Town of Yacolt.

Customers normally scheduled on Friday will not have waste collection until Saturday, December 27. Friday customers who have been missed should plan on setting out up to twice their normal amount of waste on Saturday, December 27.

Extra garbage should be set out alongside the regular cart or can in either a garbage can or large, secured trash bag. All waste should be at the curb by 6:30 a.m. and remain there until picked up. Friday customers who have every-other-week or monthly service will also have a collection on Saturday, December 27.

Questions about service can be directed to your collection company: Waste Connections (360) 892-5370. City of Camas garbage service customers should contact Camas Public Works at (360) 817-1531.

For additional information, please contact Clark County Solid Waste by calling (360) 397-6118, ext. 4352, or City of Vancouver Solid Waste Services by calling (360) 619-4120.
