City to Host Trash Talks

Republic Services and the City of San Angelo are hosting a series of seven town hall meetings in May and June to inform and educate citizens about the new trash collection services that will begin July 20 and to answer their questions.

The forums will begin at 6 p.m. and will occur in each of the six City Council districts plus in the City Council chambers in the McNease Convention Center.

During the town hall meetings, officials from Republic Services will provide information on topics such as curbside recycling, frequency of service, new 96-gallon trash carts and their proper placement on service days, quarterly bulk pickup and use of the landfill. Republic and City officials will also respond to customers’ questions and concerns.
