The holiday season's waste disposal schedule has seen some important updates that residents should keep in mind. Due to the Christmas and New Year's Day holidays, there will be no trash or recycling services on Wednesday, December 25, and Wednesday, January 1, 2025—a statement obtained by the Speedway government. Instead, collections will operate on a delayed schedule for the remainder of both weeks.
In tune with the festive spirit, but still adhering to the practicalities of waste management, Christmas tree collection will take place during the first two weeks of January. Trees will be picked up on your regular trash days, ensuring that once they have sparkled and shone they can be ground into compost, contributing to the circle of urban flora life. However, be sure to remove all ornaments and stands, as those can't be repurposed, and remember, trees left in bags will be left at the curb, uncollected.
Always ensuring your holidays don't end in a pileup of rubbish, the Christmas tree pick-up service listed on the Speedway government's website details how only real trees will be accepted for composting. The trees must be stripped of their holiday decor, including lights, wires, and stands, and must not be contained in any bags for the collection crew to take them away.
Lastly, those anticipating the broader scope of trash collection throughout the coming year can rest easy; the 2025 Trash Services Calendar, which residents will rely upon for all their waste disposal needs, have been assured by Waste Management that it is currently in the works and will be made public the moment it's ready. This will guide each household in the area through the labyrinth of trash collection nuances for the forthcoming 12 months.
