Trash and Recycling Update

Posted on: January 13, 2024 - 11:20am

Due to current weather and road conditions, Pellitteri Waste Systems is making the following changes to the schedule.

Canceled Routes: City of Brodhead, Town of Dunn, Town of Pleasant Springs, Town of Springfield, Town of Verona, and Village of Windsor routes normally scheduled on Fridays (originally delayed to Saturday), have been canceled . There will be no collection on Saturday, January 13th. Due to the weather conditions, we will be unable to return for collection prior to the next regularly scheduled collection date. However, impacted residents can place up to 5 extra bags of trash and/or recycling next to their cart on their next regularly scheduled collection day. We apologize for this inconvenience. We do not take the decision to cancel routes lightly.  

* Residents whose carts are not picked up by 7 p.m. on Saturday should remove the carts from the curb. Due to the number of areas that are inaccessible and the weather conditions, we will be unable to return to pick up in those areas prior to the next regularly scheduled collection date. However, impacted residents can place up to 5 extra bags of trash and/or recycling next to their cart on their next regularly scheduled collection day. We apologize for this inconvenience.

 

Important Reminders:

Safety: Thank you for your understanding. We realize not receiving collection creates difficulties. There are multiple factors that impacted the decisions that had to be made, including landfill closures, road conditions, truck capabilities, safety for our drivers, and the community. 

Tipped Over Carts*:We are experiencing a high volume of carts being tipped over prior to our trucks arriving. Drivers are not able to collect carts that are knocked over and cannot get out at every stop to upright them. If you can, please set the carts upright prior to our arrival so they can be serviced. 

Cart Placement: To help with plowing efforts and help prevent tipped over carts, please place your carts on the terrace or in your driveway, not in the road, and not on top of snowbanks. You may need to shovel out an area for your carts. Please keep carts 4 feet away from each other and any other obstructions to prevent them from being tipped over during service, or not serviced at all.
