STORM DRAIN MARKERS
Each storm drain in the City is distinctly marked with either a blue and white fish dot or with a fish imprint in the concrete. These markers are there to remind the public that dumping hazardous material into these drains is illegal and is hazardous to public health. Our storm drains flow directly to the Sacramento River without passing through a treatment plant. Help keep our water supply clean by reporting illegal dumping to Police Dispatch at 372-3375. Additionally, if you notice a storm drain that does not have a marker or the marker has been damaged, please help keep our program current by calling 617-4590 or e-mailing recycle@cityofwestsacramento.org the location of the storm drain in question.

HOLIDAY PROGRAMS
Curbside service is unaffected by holidays, with the exceptions of Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day. During those periods, residents will be notified in advance of the change to their pickup schedule. Please note: The pickup day is always moved one day later. For example, if your regular pickup day is Tuesday, your pickup would move to Wednesday, Wednesday would move to Thursday and so on.
