Effective May 5, 2008, the City of Toledo began the next step in continuing improvements to refuse and recycling collection services provided to residents. Changes involve adjusting collection routes -- which affects about 10% of residential customers refuse collection days, launching a pilot program to pick up refuse and recyclable materials from residents using automated trucks and switching about 15% of residential customers A/B recycle collection days. The pilot area participants were issued two containers by vendors participating in the pilot program. Residents in the pilot areas are encouraged to provide feedback regarding the pilot program by filling out the online survey linked above.
Based on the outcome of the pilot program, the City plans to implement additional changes to residential refuse and single stream recycling collection. Specific program enhancements include a scheduled bulk collection service and conversion of most refuse and recycle routes to automation by June 1, 2010.
Both residents and the City will benefit from these changes. Benefits include a safer work environment for collectors, a neater appearance for neighborhoods with uniform refuse and recycling cans with less spillage, and increased recycling as a result of switching to automated collection – which will generate revenues and prolong the life of the City’s landfill. There will also be a significant cost savings to the taxpayers.
