Last week's missed garbage collection to be picked up by Wednesday
National Serv-All is working to finish missed garbage collection from last week by Wednesday, however missed curbside recycling pick-up will be collected as part of the next regular collection schedule, which is the week of Jan. 5 for last week's customers.
Those with missed garbage pick-ups should leave their bins out until they are collected. The missed collections were because of icy and cold weather conditions.
“Last week with its mix of below zero temperatures and ice created conditions that made it too challenging for the safety of drivers and equipment to complete the regular collection schedule, plus there was also the Christmas holiday that affected pick-up schedules,” said Public Works Director Bob Kennedy. “The City appreciates residents' cooperation and patience as we work through the modified schedule.”
Customers do not need to call 311 about a missed pick-up from last week.
Those residents who did not get their recycling collected last week are asked to hold onto it until their next regular day of collection which is the week of Jan. 5. Mayor Tom Henry urges residents to use the recycling drop-off sites at the following locations if they cannot wait until their next collection day:
· Scott's, 4522 Maplecrest Rd.
· Scott's, 4120 N. Clinton St.
· Scott's, 5300 Decatur Rd.
· United Refuse, 5000 Smith Rd.
· Sam's Club, 6736 Lima Rd.
The New Year's holiday will also alter pick-up schedules this week. There will be no collection Thursday with Thursday and Friday's pick-ups moved to the next day.
