City of Toledo plans trash cart maintenance

Leave both blue and gray carts out all day on weeks when both are collected

The City of Toledo Division of Solid Waste will be conducting maintenance on the 12,500 carts provided to residents for the automated pilot program. The maintenance program is scheduled to begin the week of November 2, 2009 and last approximately 6 weeks through December 14, 2009.

Residents affected by this maintenance work will be notified by a postcard in the mail. The City is asking residents with carts for their assistance to complete the maintenance. Residents who have carts are asked to:

• Place both the grey and blue carts out for service as usual on your trash day and on your recycling week by 7 am.
• Leave carts at curb on weeks when both trash and recycling is collected until 5pm
• Do not bring carts back up to house or garage until after 5 pm even if Division of Solid Waste crews have completed pick-up of trash and recycling.

Questions? Please call 419-936-2511.

All city residents will be using the new automated refuse and recycling collection services program by March 2010.

Residents that have large items such as furniture and other non-appliance items must call the City Division of Solid waste at (419) 936-2515 at least 1 business day in advance of your collection day.
