HEAVY TRASH UPDATE FOR BINGLEWOOD!

We have been in contact with our City representatives on your behalf and have placed numerous 3-1-1 tickets (as have many of you) and still our Binglewood heavy trash has not been picked up!  We are scheduled for the 4th Thursday of even months for heavy trash and odd months for tree waste only. Since we were skipped in October, we now have tree debris mixed with junk waste covering front yards, curbs and even into the street. Unfortunately, this is a city-wide delay. They are still working on 3rd Tuesday trash pickup which means the heavy trash that should have been picked up on Tuesday, October 15th!  The Solid Waste Department is telling us that they are not likely to get to 4th week heavy trash until next month (December). They believe the extensive delay is the result of picking up not only heavy trash, but also the residual storm debris. District A is encouraging people to come to the weekly public session and speak before the Mayor and City Council. Council Member Peck is planning to speak at the November 20th council session. YOU CAN EMAIL THE MAYOR'S OFFICE AT MAYOR@HOUSTONTX.GOV AND SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT AT SWDWORKS@HOUSTONTX.GOV OR CALL 3-1-1.
