Residential Waste/Recycling Service Delayed by One Day Week of May 29, In Observance of Memorial Day

CARLSBAD/OCEANSIDE, May 15, 2006 - Waste Management of North County and Coast Waste Management’s curbside residential trash and recycling pick-up schedule will be delayed by one day throughout the week of May 29, in observance of Memorial Day. This means residential customers in the following cities should place their cans out for pick-up one day later than usual, beginning May 30 through June 3:

  • Carlsbad
  • Del Mar
  • Oceanside
  • Solana Beach
  • Communities in unincorporated San Diego County, including Rancho Santa Fe and Valley Center

“Residential customers who usually receive service on Monday will instead receive it Tuesday, and so on throughout the week, with Friday’s customers receiving service on Saturday,” said Ken Ryan, district manager. “We appreciate our customers’ cooperation with the holiday schedule so that our employees can observe Memorial Day.”

Oceanside’s commercial trash and recycling service will run on a partially modified schedule on Memorial Day due to scheduled landfill closures. All other cities’ business commercial trash and recycling services will not be affected by the holiday – these services will remain on the regular Monday through Saturday schedule for the same week.

All local Waste Management offices, recycling centers and the customer service center will be closed on May 29th, with normal operations resuming on Tuesday, May 30th.

Customer service regular hours are Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon at 1(800) DUMPSTER or (760) 929-9400.
