Author    Post   Steve Myers Site Admin City spreading word on new garbage pickup HOMETOWN HEADLINES FLINT THE FLINT JOURNAL FIRST EDITION Tuesday, August 08, 2006 By Kristin Longley JOURNAL STAFF WRITER In an effort to make the city "cleaner and safer," officials announced new garbage collection guidelines Monday. Mayor Don Williamson and Transportation Director Bill Ayre said trash and yard waste will be collected on the same day, unlike the current system. The new guidelines, outlined in a brochure the city is distributing door-to-door, will take effect Monday. Included in the new plan: A limit of 20 bags of garbage, 20 bags of yard waste and four large items per week. Garbage must be set out by 7 a.m. on the day of collection and no earlier than 7 p.m. on the evening before the collection. Collection will be delayed one day after national holidays. Liquids, hazardous waste, and demolition material are some of the materials that won't be accepted. For special services, such as assistance for the handicapped, dead animal removal or remodeling materials that need to be collected, contact the sanitation department. Details: (810) 766-7076. - Kristin Longley http://www.mlive.com/news/fljournal/index.ssf?/base/news-38/1155045149150490.xml&coll=5 _________________ Steve Myers Tue Aug 08, 2006 10:44 am  Ted Jankowski F L I N T O I D Cool That's one of the best ideas i've heard out of this administration. Maybe we should have Mr. Ayers run the Police Dept also. Tue Aug 08, 2006 9:52 pm    Display posts from previous:   All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First
