Residential Waste/Recycling Service Delayed by One Day for
Remainder of Week Following Independence Day
SAN DIEGO, June 22, 2006 - Waste Management of San Diego’s curbside residential trash and recycling pick-up schedule will be delayed by one day in the days after the 4th of July, in observance of Independence Day. Those who receive service on Monday will not experience any delays.
Residential customers in the following cities should place their bins out for pick-up one day later than usual, beginning July 5 through July 8:
- El Cajon
- Santee
- Communities in unincorporated San Diego County, including Lakeside, Spring Valley, Alpine and Jamul
“Residential customers who usually receive service on Tuesday will instead receive it Wednesday, and so on throughout the remainder of the week, with Friday’s customers receiving service on Saturday. Those with Monday service will be unaffected by the holiday,” said Carl Scherbaum, district manager. “We appreciate our customers’ cooperation with the holiday schedule so that our employees can observe Independence Day.”
Business commercial trash and recycling services in these cities and the City of San Diego will not be affected by the holiday – these services will remain on the regular Monday through Saturday schedule for the same week.
The local Waste Management office, buyback center and the customer service center will be closed on July 4, with normal operations resuming on Wednesday, July 5.
Customer service is available at 1(800) DUMPSTER or (619) 596-5100, Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon.
