As the nation pays tribute to the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr., changes to local waste management schedules in West Allis come into effect. According to an announcement from the City of West Allis, garbage and recycling collections will deviate from their regular schedule during the week of January 20. Residents are advised to be aware of the altered pick-up dates to ensure their waste is collected on time. If your usual collection day falls on Monday, January 20, expect the service to occur on Tuesday, January 21 instead. Subsequent collection days throughout the week may also experience a shift, accommodating for the observance of the holiday.
For the detailed revised pick-up schedule, the city provided an easy-to-follow chart. Services scheduled for Tuesday, January 21, will either remain unchanged or be pushed to Wednesday, January 22. Likewise, Wednesday pickups are slated for the same day or the next, Thursday, January 23. Thursday services will take place on its scheduled day or the following Friday, January 24; and Friday's collections remain unaffected. To stay updated, the City recommends downloading the City of West Allis app, which offers notifications for "Garbage, trash, and recycling."
In addition to the waste management updates, several city facilities will observe Martin Luther King Jr. Day by closing their doors on Monday, January 20. This closure includes City Hall, the Southwest Suburban Health Department, the West Allis Public Library, the West Allis Senior Center, and the Municipal Yard. Residents planning to access services from these departments should plan accordingly and anticipate resuming normal operations following the holiday, as reported by the City of West Allis.
