New Meridian trash collection system begins Monday
Jul 02, 2010 (The Idaho Statesman - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) --
The City of Meridian announced Friday that there will be no delay in waste collection due to Independence Day this year.
Instead, the city will launch its new fully-automated cart-based trash collection beginning Monday, July 5.
Under this new system, all residential trash and recycling for collection must be contained in wheeled trash carts issued by Sanitary Services Company. The use of trash cans or containers not issued by SSC, including boxes, bags, or loose items set out for pick-up, will no longer be permitted.
The SSC-issued carts should be placed at the curb or edge of the road on the regularly-scheduled trash and recycling days and will be collected with a SSC truck equipped with a mechanical arm will lift the carts and empty their contents into the truck without the driver ever leaving the vehicle.
"SSC waste collectors will be on the look-out for households that do not have the required containers, are confused about the correct use and placement of their carts, or have special circumstances which we can help them address," said SSC manager Steve Sedlecek.
Trash and recycling will be collected in Meridian on its regular schedule throughout the week.
