RETURN OF OLD HOLIDAY COLLECTION SCHEDULE

WE HAVE RETURNED TO THE OLD HOLIDAY COLLECTION SCHEDULES.

We have gone back to twice per week pick ups on Holiday Weeks.

Although the pilot program that was implemented July 4, 2016, to help defer a rate increase, did show a savings to the City of Tyler, there were some problematic issues we could not ignore, such as scattered trash and garbage cans sitting on the street all week.

Watch this website or download our FREE APP "Tyler Talks Trash" on your smart phone for the current holiday schedules. You can also check the bottom of your water bill for notices of schedule changes.

PROCEDURE FOR BAGGED LEAVES

City Ordinance. Sec. 16-4. Residential collection.

f. Leaves. All leaves to be collected by the City shall be placed in the parkway behind the curb line at a location so that access to it is not obstructed by overhanging tree limbs, wires, or other obstacles which would interfere with mechanical collection. Leaves should be placed in bio-degradable bags in order to help with composition. Leaves shall not be placed in City-supplied containers. Twenty-five (25) or more bags should be called in for special pickup and shall be assessed a charge in accordance with the fee schedule in this Article.

The route will generally pick up the bags of leaves and a charge will be made to the customer's water bill for any amount over 25 bags. Please contact us at 903-531-1388 if you have any questions, or to call in a special pick up of your leaves.
