Due to the volatile nature of the recycling market on top of the reception of dirty recyclable material, the City of Plymouth will observe an every-other-week recycling pickup schedule.
This will save costs to the city to the first year of the five-year contract. The price could decrease seven percent or increase seven percent depending on if the residents contribute dirty or clean recyclables. Some education pieces will be sent to residents in order to keep recyclable items free of contamination.
The change of pick-up will begin in November.
The current Thursday pick-up for residents who live south of Jefferson and east of Michigan will move to Wednesday with trash and recycling pick-up beginning Nov. 6. Residents who live north of Jefferson Street will experience trash and recycling pick-up on Tuesdays beginning on Nov. 12 while those residents living south of Jefferson Street and West of Michigan will have Wednesday trash and recycling pick-up beginning Nov. 13.
Recycling will be picked up every other week following the initial day change.
The Plymouth Board of Public Works and Safety members unanimously approved an amendment to the original agreement with Republic Services to reflect this change.
