RECYCLING UPDATE

Over the last several weeks city recycling collection trucks have been used to assist in the effort to clean up any flood damaged materials from floods that, primarily, affected parts of the city not located within our community.

This conversion caused an obvious decrease in recycling collection city-wide and many of you have called my office to report missed collection in the 1st Ward.

During this time, I have been in constant contact with my Ward Superintendent and other Streets and Sanitation officials, receiving updates and monitoring the situation.

Even though I understand the need to pick up materials in other parts of the city, I demanded that recycling trucks be reinstated in the 1st Ward.


I am pleased to report that this morning, I was informed that we would have three extra recycling trucks made available for our ward.

We will have additional trucks for the rest of the week and we intend to collect recycling from all 14,693 homes who have blue carts.

I thank you for your patience and understanding during this time.

Please do not hesitate to contact my office to report missed collection.
