North Judson residents have some new procedures when it comes to garbage pickup. Starting this week, Republic Services is taking over trash pickup, according to North Judson Clerk-Treasurer Alicia Collins.
As part of the change, residents should place trash next to the street rather than the alley. Collins says that from now on, blue Republic Services trucks will be picking up the garbage. She adds that Republic Services employees may request to speak with residents if they encounter any issues with trash placement. Additionally, crews will complete trash pickup on one side of a given street before starting on the other side. Collins requests that residents be patient before assuming their house has been skipped, inadvertently.
Residents currently place garbage in their own cans for pickup, but Collins says that Republic Services plans to provide garbage totes to residents starting next year.
Officials with Republic Services and Richard’s Disposal could not be reached for comment on Tuesday.
