shelbyville-street-department-proposing-change-to-tuesday-trash-collection-route
Street department director Doug Hunt appeared before the Board of Works Tuesday morning to discuss the change to routes that would affect residents that typically have their trash collected on Tuesdays.
The street department currently makes 704 stops for trash collection on Mondays, 967 on Tuesdays, 790 on Wednesdays, 761 on Thursdays and 850 on Fridays. Hunt admitted finishing the Tuesday trash collection route has proven difficult within normal working hours and that part of the city is adding hundreds of new homes in the coming years.
Hunt is proposing transferring collection dates for five subdivisions from Tuesday to Thursday as residential expansion continues in Twin Lakes and Twelve Oaks and new subdivisions – Summerfield and Bear Run – are currently under construction on the southeast side of the city.
The street department would move trash collection to Thursdays for residents in the following subdivisions – Loper Ponds, Lantana, Eaglebrook, Overlook and the Peninsula.
No date has been set for the change in trash routes.
The street department will send out notifications to the residents affected, according to Hunt.
