Public works crews in Bloomington and Normal will be collecting trash and recycling on New Years Day.
In Normal, bulky waste and brush will not be collected on Friday. It will be collected for Friday’s route the following week, as time permits. Christmas trees will be collected by the brush crews. Trees should be placed at the curb minus all metal objects and plastic bags after 6 p.m. on the day before your regular collection day or prior to 6 a.m. on the day of collection. Landscape waste collection will end on Thursday and will resume in April.
Residents who have leaves or other vegetation to dispose of (no woody materials) may bring them to the Public Works landscape waste drop site at 1301 Warriner St.
In Bloomington, the drop-off facility will be closed on Thursday and Friday. Bulk waste will also not be collected on these days.
Due to the high volume of brush from the recent ice and wind storm, brush crews could be running behind schedule until storm cleanup is complete.
