Trash Collection Day Changes for Some Residents Starting May 1st

In an effort to normalize a dozen overburdened trash routes, approximately 7,300 households will have their trash and recyclables collection day switched to Wednesdays. All other elements of the service will remain the same (i.e. residents should continue to put out containerized trash at the point of collection no earlier than 6:30 pm the day before collection and no later than 6 am on the day of collection). The change goes into effect today, and affects only those homes with once-weekly collection service in small areas of Wards 1, 5, 6, and 7. The households should have been notified of the change via printed door hangers that were distributed last Wednesday.
