Frequently Asked Questions
Expand all- When do the new hours begin?
Sunday hours and the updated schedule begin on January 3, 2026. All times are Eastern (ET)
- Why are we waiting until January 3, 2026, to change the landfill operating hours?
The updated schedule becomes effective on January 3, 2026, allowing time for staffing, routing, and safety planning. This later start date also provides a six-month buffer for hauling companies, gives them time to adjust routes if needed, and allows our team additional time for internal scheduling and planning.
- Why are we closing earlier on certain days and opening on Sunday?
Closing earlier on certain days allows us to maintain existing staffing levels, while opening on Sunday ensures that we do not have labor cost increases. Specifically, starting January 3, 2026, the new hours are 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, with extended hours on Thursday (7:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m.).
