The emails of about 1,100 residents had been compromised following a data breach of two waste collection apps.
All affected users have been notified of the data breach.
It appears only email addresses were accessed by the unauthorized party, and information such as names, locations or passwords have not been impacted.
Users registered their emails with Recycle Coach and My Waste in order to receive alerts about garbage, recycling and yard-waste collection schedules, and other related information.
