Default Trash Collection

Dang! The city makes it difficult to learn when trash collection times are for new residents. I moved only a few blocks from my last apartment (2nd/Bainbridge to 3rd/Monroe), but I can't seem to locate trash collection days. The website says simply: "If you are unsure of your collection day, call the Streets Department's CUSTOMER AFFAIRS UNIT at 215-686-5560."

I called the number, and it's a number for registering complaints. The only complaint I have is that it's too difficult to get a straight answer.

So, do any of you, my neighors, know when trashcollection for 3rd/Monroe area/east side of the street is?

Thanks for your help!

Jen

It's not just new residents. The pickup day in my 'hood appears to have changed without notice recently and for several weeks I had no clue when to put my trash out... I've started to suspect pickup is now on Fridays, though.

Good luck!

I live near 2nd and Queen and trash pick up has been and is Fridays.

Call the Queen Village Neighborhood Association 215-592-7488. They open around 9:00.
