News & Notes
TRASH COLLECTION NOTE
On extremely windy days, the City often receives calls from residents
regarding trash and recyclable materials blowing out of the containers being
scattered throughout the neighborhood. Please note that trash containers are
required to be, "....leakproof, waterproof, and fitted with a fly-tight lid
and shall be properly covered at all times, except when depositing waste
therein or removing the contents thereof." More problematic are the
recyclable bins. Fortunately, new recycling technologies allow residents to
use 14 or 30 gallon kitchen trash bags to contain recyclable materials as
long as the bags are tied to secure the contents. The City encourages
residents to use such bags and place them inside or on top of your
recyclable bin (so the trash hauler knows they contain recyclables versus
household trash), thus avoiding loose materials from blowing in the wind.
Placing heavier bags on top will certainly help. Please do your best to
secure your trash and recyclables to keep your home and neighborhood free
from such debris.
TRASH COLLECTION NOTE
Please remember that major appliances, which include "white goods" such as
water heaters, washers, dryers, etc., require an appointment be made to have
them picked up by IESI. Bulky waste includes any item except major
appliances generated from normal household operation. Bulky waste includes
furniture, small appliances, rugs, etc., but excludes tires and car parts.
If an individual item of bulky waste weighs more than seventy-five (75)
pounds, or is of such an irregular size or shape so as to impede lifting or
placement for removal without special service, they may not be able to be
picked up without an appointment. We suggest that the resident call IESI to
see if an appointment is needed for such bulky waste items before placing
them at the curb for pick-up. Please call 1-888-67WASTE to schedule a
pick-up. |
