On Friday, June 5th, you will receive a notice on your trash can informing you of your new day. (If you are remaining on Friday (most of Independence) you will not receive a notice). On Monday, June 8th, the new service schedule will begin as follows:

Tuesday - Tuesday area will be serviced according to the new schedule.
Wednesday - Wednesday area will be serviced according to the new schedule.
