09/07/11 The Plymouth Street Department is reminding city residents that trash pick-up will be altered this week because of the Labor Day Holiday.

Due to the holiday on Monday, trash pick-up schedules will be moved back one day.  Allied Waste was closed on Monday, September 5th and will begin picking-up trash and recycling in Plymouth beginning on Wednesday, September 7th. If you trash is regularly picked-up on Wednesday it will be picked-up on Thursday this week only.  Pick-up will be moved back one day for everyone this week only.

Please remember that your trash and recycling are to be placed at the curb for pick-up at 6 a.m.  The trash and recycle tote lids must be closed. Any items overflowing the tote may fall off and will cause the tote to not be emptied.  Any items placed outside of the regular trash tote will not be picked-up without a special pick-up appointment to be set up with the trash hauler.  The recycling truck comes every week in Plymouth on the same day as the trash.

Street Superintendent Jim Marquardt also reminds homeowners that yard waste pick-up days are Mondays and Fridays weather permitting.  Yard waste containers that are too heavy cause too many injuries.  Please use multiple containers.  The crews start early and once through your area do not come back.

Any questions on trash, recycling and or ward waste should be directed to the Plymouth Street Department. (936-2017)
