The city of Auburn is reminding residents that the new, city-wide pickup schedule begins Monday.

Auburn refuse collector Chris Goodwin picks up bags of yard waste on Alden Avenue the afternoon of Tuesday, October 3.
Sanitation workers will now pick up only yard waste on Mondays. Pickup for trash and recycling will take place the rest of the week on a four-day schedule.

Residents who clean up leaves or cut grass over the weekend should remember that city policy requires them to place yard waste in separate containers or clear bags, according to officials.

“What we're asking people not to do is rake (leaves into) the huge piles,” said Sanitation Supervisor Michael Talbot.

People can also put their Halloween pumpkins in with the yard waste.

The new schedule is an attempt to make the pickup process as efficient as possible while utilizing the same amount of public works staff.

The city has distributed brochures to explain the pickup schedule and regulations to all residents. And those who will have a new trash pickup day should have received fliers announcing the change.

Talbot said there will likely be a learning curve for the city during the initial stages of the new schedule. Crews might not be able to pick up all the yard waste out the first day, he said, though there will be crews the rest of the week to clear the leftovers.

There will also likely be a few misses early on, and Talbot said that residents should call the solid waste department at 255-4155 if that happens.

“I think people will realize this is much more efficient for everybody,” Talbot said.

The new policy is a small change from the former one, which divided the city into five sections for garbage collection. Crews covered a new section each day, and workers picked up lawn and hedge trimmings, leaves and other yard waste as crews are available. The new program will divide the city up into four quarters.

During the winter, when there is not as much yard waste, the extra public works crews will be used for snow removal and other jobs around the city.
