Logan officials are offering a temporary accommodation to city residents who may be inconvenienced by a scheduled interruption in recycling collection after Oct. 2
LOGAN – City officials here are offering temporary accommodations to Logan residents who may be inconvenienced by the upcoming transition to new trash/recycling schedules.
As previously announced, Logan will only provide trash/recycling collection for city residents starting Oct. 2.
Logan residents can find their new collection day and recycling schedule by visiting https://mygarbageday.loganutah.org and typing their address in the upper left-hand corner, according to city spokesperson Emily Malik.
While trash pickup will continue on a weekly basis, she says, there will be some interruption in scheduled recycling collection.
“Recycling Schedule A will be collected the week of Oct. 2 and Recycling Schedule B will be collected the week of Oct. 9,” Mailik explained. “Some residents will have three weeks between their final recycling pickup on their old schedule in September and the first recycling pickup on the new schedule in October.”
For those residents, the city’s Environmental Department will provide a one-time collection of bagged extra recycling. Residents wish to take advantage of this option should place that recycling next to their containers on the first new scheduled collection day in October.
The new trash/recycling schedule applies to all Logan City residents who used black, green or blue containers for waste disposal, Malik adds. Residents with questions about waste collection can call city officials at 435-719-9577.
Cache Valley residents living outside of Logan should contact their respective city offices with questions.
For most of those Cache County residents, waste collection service by Waste Management Inc. will begin on Oct. 2.
Waste collection for the cities of Lewiston, Richmond and Smithfield will be handled under a separate contract with Econo Waste Inc.
The only temporary exception to that change will be Providence, where the city council recently voted to continue receiving service from Logan while officials acquire new garbage trucks to be operated by city employees.
All services at the Logan Environmental Center will continue to be open to county residents after Oct. 1, however.
Those include the city’s transfer station, its household hazardous waste facility, its green waste facility, its construction and demolition landfill and the city’s recycling drop area.
Those services are located on the campus of the Logan Environmental Center at 153 North, 1400 West.
