The Clarendon City Council will be talking trash during its regular meeting this Thursday at 5:30.
The city and residents have been grappling with issues of Dumpsters not being picked up in a timely manner, and this week’s council agenda includes reviewing the city’s agreement with Waste Connections as well as consulting with an attorney on the matter.
Last week, City Administrator Brian Barboza posted a statement on the city website addressing citizens’ complaints of overflowing trash bins. Barboza said truck maintenance issues and new truck drivers who were unaware of some Dumpsters have led to delays. He encouraged residents to notify the company directly when their trash is not picked up by going online. Click the “Missed Pickup” tab at https://www.wasteconnections.com/contact-us/.
Barboza said the following is a schedule of when trash should be picked up: Monday, Downtown and College; Tuesday, Nursing Home and Greenbelt Lake; Wednesday, West Side Clarendon; Thursday, East Side Clarendon; and Friday, Businesses and North Side Clarendon.
“We apologize for the inconvenience the trash service has caused for our citizens,” Barboza said. “Please contact City Hall at 806-874-3438 if dumpster(s) have not been picked up in a timely manner.”
