October 7, 2 p.m. – In response to the impending weather conditions, resources typically dedicated to recycling will be redirected to enhance yard waste collection services during the storm. FCC Environmental will deploy additional personnel and equipment, including external contractors using grapple trucks to facilitate yard waste collection. County Road and Bridge crews will also assist in the collection efforts to improve efficiency. Household garbage collection will remain on its regular schedule.

To facilitate the resources dedicated to enhanced yard waste and household garbage collection, recycling collection will be suspended from Tuesday, Oct. 8, through Friday, Oct. 11. Recycling collection is expected to resume on Monday, Oct. 14, following the storm.

Residents are encouraged to drop off yard waste at the County’s Tillman Ridge or Stratton Road Transfer Stations at no charge. Both facilities will remain open during normal operating hours: Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Transfer Station Locations:

• Tillman Ridge Transfer Station
  • 3005 Allen Nease Road, Elkton
