City Of Amarillo Adjust Resident Collection Schedule

The City of Amarillo Solid Waste Department will be temporarily adjusting the trash pickup schedule for residents with dumpster service.

Beginning Monday July 18th, residents with dumpster service will receive trash pickup service once a week.

Residents with previous service on Mondays and Thursdays each week will be serviced on Monday or Tuesday, and residents with previous service on Tuesdays and Fridays will receive service on Thursday or Friday.

The COA Solid Waste Department has 69,000 residential accounts – by far the largest category for trash removal. In order to be fully-staffed to service these residential accounts, 42 personnel are needed. The city currently has 20 staffers to service these 69,000 residential accounts – less than half of what is required for regular residential service.

Providing the most effective customer service with limited staff is the reason for the new temporary schedule.
