In order to provide a cleaner recycling waste stream and to honor customer requests for every week garbage pickup, the sanitation and recycling cart pickup schedule will change beginning June 3, 2013. Transwaste Industries has begun picking up recycling carts from all customers in order to clean and return carts to residents who wish to continue with the recycling program. Under the new schedule, regular residential garbage collection will be every week.
Residents who wish to continue to participate in the new City of Douglas Recycling Program need to fill out a “Residential Recycling Cart Request Form” and submit it to the Utility/Collections Department at City Hall no later than June 5, 2013. These forms may be obtained at www.cityofdouglas.com/recycling or by visiting the Utility/Collections Department at City Hall. Customers should be aware that the first recycling collection will not take place until Friday, June 14th. Residential curbside recycling (blue) collection will be every other Friday for residents who have a completed Recycling Cart Request Form on file at City Hall. There will not be a rate increase for customers who wish to continue on the recycling program.
