New Trash, Recycling Schedules Start August 1

Havre de Grace resident will need to adapt to a new trash and recycling schedule in less than a month.

The full changes can be found on the city's website, or in the PDF file included in this post.

Garbage will be collected Monday through Wednesday, depending on location.

Monday pick-up includes the south side of Fountain Street to Tydings Park, from the Susquehanna River to Pulaski Highway, including Bradford Green, Bay Brook, Seneca Point and Armstrong Avenue.

Tuesday pick-up includes Greenway Farms, and north of Fountain Street and east of Grace Harbor and Bayview Estates.

Wednesday pickup includes Ontario Street and areas west of Route 40, including Grace Harbor, Oak Tree Drive, Bayview Estates, Mt. Pleasant, Meadows of Bulle Rock and The Paddocks.

Appliances and metal will be picked up on Wednesdays. Call the City's department of public works by 2 p.m. on Tuesday to get on the list for Wednesday pick-up. Appliances and metal items should be placed where you normally leave your trash and recyclables.

Recycling will be collected on Thursdays. Recycling cans should be placed in the same place as trash cans and designated with a recycling sticker or a large "X" on the side of the can.

Yard waste will be collected on Fridays.

All items to be picked up should be left out after 6 p.m. the evening before, and no later than 7 a.m. on the day of pick-up.

When collection falls on one of eight holidays (Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Memorial Day and the Fourth of July), collection will shift to the following day.

Fall clean-up days will be held Sept. 3 and Sept. 24 at the Community Center on Lagaret Lane.

Residents were mailed information on the changes last month.
