THE CITY OF GRAND PRAIRIE IS CHANGING THE SCHEDULE FOR GARBAGE AND RECYCLING COLLECTION.
BEGINNING OCTOBER 2ND, THE CITY WILL BE DIVIDED INTO TWO AREAS FOR GARBAGE COLLECTION.
AREA ONE IS NORTH OF WARRIOR TRAIL AND IT WILL HAVE PICKUP DAYS ON TUESDAY AND FRIDAY.
AREA TWO IS SOUTH OF WARRIOR TRAIL AND IT WILL HAVE PICKUP DAYS ON MONDAY AND THURSDAY AND BEGINNING OCTOBER 2ND.
RECYCLING COLLECTION WILL CHANGE TO WEDNESDAY FOR THE ENTIRE CITY.
OFFICIALS SAY THE CHANGES WILL MAKE COLLECTIONS MORE EFFICIENT FOR CUSTOMERS AND THE CREWS MAKING THE PICKUPS, IT'S GOING TO CREATE ADDITIONAL RE OR ADDITIONAL GARBAGE ROUTES.
AND WHAT THAT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE IS THE DAY WILL FINISH UP SOONER FOR THE, THE HELPERS THAT ARE ON THE BACKS OF THE TRUCK IN THE ELEMENTS.
SO, UM, IT WILL ALSO REMOVE SATURDAY COLLECTION UNLESS THERE'S A HOLIDAY.
UM, SATURDAYS DON'T HAVE, UM, AS MANY MECHANICS TO WORK ON THE TRUCK, SO THIS SHOULD BE A BIG HELP FOR THAT.
UM, REALLY THE MOST EXCITING CHANGE THAT I'M SEEING OUT OF THIS IS ON A HOLIDAY WEEK.
EVERYONE WILL STILL HAVE TWO GARBAGE COLLECTION DATES.
IF YOUR HOLIDAY IS ON A MONDAY, THEN YOU WOULD GO AHEAD AND PUT YOUR TRASH OUT ON TUESDAY.
FOR THE TUESDAY PEOPLE, THEY WOULD PUT IT OUT ON WEDNESDAY AND SO ON UNTIL GARBAGE COLLECTION CONCLUDES ON SATURDAY.
AND THEN MONDAY WE START AGAIN.
YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE NEW PICKUP SCHEDULE, ALONG WITH GUIDELINES FOR SETTING OUT YOUR GARBAGE AND RECYCLING BY VISITING THE CITY'S WEBSITE@GPTX.ORG.
