Waste Management To Modify Green Waste Pick-Up Due To COVID-19

Waste Management is set to temporarily pick-up green waste trash only twice a month starting next week due to the coronavirus.

Residential green waste pick-up, which normally occurs weekly, will now take place every other week, effective Monday, Dec. 14, 2020, according to the City of Santa Clarita. 

While the schedule modification is expected to be temporary, the new schedule is set to be in place at least through mid-January 2021, with further information to come from Waste Management at that time, according to officials.

The schedule modification means that residential green waste customers will have their green waste carts serviced on their regular service day, but only once every two weeks according to their location. 

Trash and recycling pick-up schedules are not expected to be affected, and service is expected to continue weekly.

Customers are going to be sorted into “Week A” and “Week B” areas, with A bi-weekly service starting the week of Dec. 14 and B bi-weekly service starting the week of Dec. 21, according to the City. 

Waste Management is expected to use its automated phone call out system to notify green waste customers of this change and their next scheduled pick-up date, according to officials.
