<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Office of the Mayor <br /> <br /> <br />MEDIA ADVISORY <br />Thursday, Sept. 2, 2010 <br />3:30 P.M. <br /> <br />Contact: Mikki Dobski, Communications & Special Projects, 235-5855/ 876-1564 <br /> Andre Price, Superintendent of Solid Waste, 277-8823 <br /> <br />Labor Day holiday schedule for City trash pickup <br /> <br /> The City of South Bend has announced that, due to the Labor Day holiday next Monday, <br />September 6, regular trash collection will occur one day late throughout next week. While Solid <br />Waste crews normally do not pickup trash on Friday, they will do so on Friday, September 10 to <br />keep pickup on track for the week. Regularly scheduled pick-up will resume the week of <br />September 13. <br />Residents are also reminded that yard waste is still collected each week, on the same day as <br />regular trash pickup. Yard waste should be bagged and placed curbside for collection. All yard <br />waste is recycled at the City of South Bend’s Organic Resource Facility. <br />As a result of the summer storms, residents are still cleaning up branches and limbs from <br />trees that were damaged during the severe weather. These items will be picked up, for free, if they <br />are cut and bundled into 4 ft. lengths. If this is not possible, residents can call Solid Waste for a <br />“special pickup”. This collection does need to be scheduled. Please call the Division of Solid <br />Waste at 277-8823 for details or if you have questions regarding your day of pickup or any other <br />concerns. <br />- 30 - <br />
