<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">At this time, all curbside collections for garbage, recycling, yard waste, and bulky item collections will be provided this week with no service interruptions. However, fuel supply shortages may impact all curbside collection services
