Joliet announces changes in garbage collection due to impending winter storm

Changes only affect Thursday and Friday service

The Joliet City Council approved a new Waste Management contract on Tuesday.

Waste Management will pick up garbage and recycling regularly scheduled for Thursday and Friday collection on a different schedule due to the winter storm forecast, the city of Joliet announced.

For residents with alley pickup on Thursday and Friday, pickups will begin at 7 a.m. Wednesday.

For residents with curbside pickup on Thursday and Friday, pickup will begin at 5 a.m. on both of those days.

The changes only affect regularly scheduled Thursday and Friday service. Residents are asked to have garbage containers ready for collection before the newly designated times.
