Washington's Annual Residential Curbside Pick-Up Program will run April 20-24.
This is a special opportunity to dispose of large, bulky items not collected during normal weekly trash collection. This program only serves those residents who are under the city's contract with Waste Management for their weekly trash pick-up service.
The following items will not be collected for disposal: tires, large auto parts, appliances, batteries, used oil, yard waste, aand any type of liquid or household waste, televisions, computers, printers, etc. For a complete list of electronics that are now banned for disposal in landfills visit www.ci.washington.il.us and click on "Hot Topics".
The collection of bulky items will occur on the same day of the week as regular household trash pick-u and will be handled directly by Waste Management personnel.
Officials said that residents need to be sure to set all items at the curb the evening prior to the regular trash collection day to be sure that the items are not missed.
Take a walk through Washington Park and enjoy a story as you stroll! Beginning at the parking lot located on the Lincoln Grade School side of Washington Park, follow the sidewalk to read a story. This two-month session’s book is There Was a Cold Lady Who Swallowed Some Snow by Lucille Colandro.
