For those West Jordan residents scratching their heads about why their Seasonal Cans haven't been whisked away post-November, the city has offered clarity. An update on the official city website provides answers to the lingering queries about the once-a-year cessation of this service. "The Seasonal Can program ended for the year, just like it has for the past 20 years. Pickup ends the last full week of November every year," as detailed by the City of West Jordan.
Contrary to some rumors, the Seasonal Can service hasn't prematurely pulled the plug. As reported by the City of West Jordan, "No. The start and end dates did not change. The program ended on the same schedule it always has." They also took the opportunity to gently remind us to please treat the city's phone operators with kindness, as they are not the crafters of policy, but the bearers of news.
Any alterations to the program this year were minimal. Changes included the types of materials that can go inside the can, and a new moniker, ‘seasonal can’, is how we should now refer to it. However, these tweaks did nothing to shake up the collection schedule. Residents wondering if the service has transformed to operate year-round can put those thoughts to rest; the city's arrangement with ACE Disposal until 2027 ensures the seasonal nature of the program to aid in reducing monthly costs for the citizenry.
In case your Seasonal Can lingers curbside, the city’s statement makes it clear that pickup won’t occur until the service springs back into action in April. "It will not be collected until the program resumes in April," the City of West Jordan stated. The exact resumption date is locked for the "first full week of April, as it has for the past 20 years." Those looking to verify this information or to stay ahead of any future city announcements can sign up for the e-newsletter, which the city touts as the optimal way to quickly stay informed.
