Stoppage of Weekly Recycling- Tuesday and Thursday Routes (city news release)

The Public Works Department has concluded the trial period of weekly recycling for Tuesday and Thursday routes. The goal was to increase recycling tons by 50% for a 3-month period, April 1st- June 30th. Although the 17% increase was positive, the increase of 1.5 pounds per week per household could be sustained in the existing bi-weekly schedule and the increase does not warrant weekly pickup at this time.

Starting with the week of July 19th we will be returning to our normal bi-weekly schedule. July 19th is A-Week. If you need to know which week is your recycling pickup, or if you have any other questions, please contact the Public Works Office at 242-2144, option 3, option 3.
