City of Durham Adjusts Collection Schedule Due to Summer Heat

Earlier Collection Schedule Effective June 15 Until September 30

 

Durham, N.C. - Summer in North Carolina means one thing for City of
Durham employees who work outside all day long - soaring temperatures
and the risk of heat-related injuries.

 

To combat the heat and its effect on employees, the City's Department of
Solid Waste Management is adjusting its solid waste, yard waste,
recycling, and bulky item collection schedules to begin earlier each
day.  

 

Effective June 15 through September 30, the City is asking residents to
place their carts on the curb the night before their normal pick-up day
since collection crews will be arriving at least one hour earlier than
the regularly scheduled pick-up time of 7 a.m. 

 

While solid waste collectors will make every effort to complete their
regular routes each day, if a pick-up is missed on a resident's regular
collection day, they should leave their carts at the curb an extra day
before contacting Durham One Call at (919) 560-1200 to report the missed
pick-up.
