There's nothing on http://64.78.36.115/index.asp about it, and they haven't updated their (massive, glossy, PDF) stream-type map, but hey, that's bureaucracy.

I've more than a couple stacks of cardboard to put out, so it'd be nice to actually know...

"Current information" at 215-686-5560 was useless ("All garbage and recycling trucks are on schedule, goodbye <click>"), but the human being was very helpful and confirmed that the areas that philly.com article said would switch over to single-stream on 5 May did.

Woo hoo!
