Waste Management has started to deliver 96-gallon, wheeled trash carts to Galesburg residents designed to replace the use of bags for weekly refuse pickup.
Residents can expect to receive a new cart by Dec. 23. There is no additional charge to citizens.
GONE ARE CLEANUP DAYS: New Waste Management contract now allows for monthly bulk pickup
According to Waste Management, carts provide additional capacity, are easy to move to the curb, and lids keep all materials contained in the cart for a cleaner community.
Residents are encouraged to begin using the new Waste Management cart as soon as they receive it. The wheeled carts will have a green lid and are for refuse. The yellow-lid carts for recycling will remain the same.
