Springfield's Office of Public Works is reminding residents that adjusted waste collection hours will continue for the week of July 6 due to forecasted high temperatures and humidity.
Republic Services, Lake Area Disposal, and Waste Management are authorized to begin daily waste collection at 5:00 a.m.
Residents are encouraged to place their waste and recycling containers at the curb the night before their scheduled collection day to ensure timely pickup.
The office said this temporary schedule adjustment helps collection crews work safely during periods of extreme heat. Early collection authorization will be reviewed weekly, with additional updates provided as needed.
