Republic Services will be starting collection one hour early in anticipation of the high temperatures and extreme heat next week (July 15 & 16). Please make arrangement to have your trash and recycling out the night before your collection day.

Our major Summer 2024 roadwork project is set to begin in earnest on July 22nd, weather permitting. Some prep work may occur on July 19th.

This year's repaving project will occur in the eastern half of Rheems (see map below). Residents in this area should expect paving crews to be in their neighborhoods for a week to 10 days. This work is very weather dependent so residents should be prepared for the project start/timeline to shift in the event of rain.

Residents should follow all contractor directions and requests and should remove all vehicles from the street during the course of the project.
