# Adverse Weather: How do I protect my recyclables? Will pickup still happen?

## Rain and Wind and Snow, Oh My!

We at Recyclops understand that Mother Nature can be a fickle mistress! Our drivers are prepared to collect during multiple weather conditions, so have no fear, your items will still be collected (barring any issues with [contamination](https://ask.recyclops.com/what-is-contamination?hsLang=en)). If you are ever concerned about weather, you are more than welcome to use your [own container](https://ask.recyclops.com/can-i-use-my-own-container?hsLang=en) to house your recyclables. Pickups will resume as normal barring no safety concerns. Any changes or reschedules will be communicated otherwise via text and/or email.

**Pro Tip**: If you are concerned about wind, we recommend weighing down your items with heavy rocks, or placing your bags (cart if applicable) over your cardboard to prevent it blowing down the street!
