BLOOMINGTON – Residential Bulk waste is being collected by Bloomington public works personnel starting next week as part of the upcoming fall free bulk waste pickup.
Solid waste program customers receive the service at no additional cost, though leaves, brush and trimmings will not be collected with the bulk pick-up.
Deputy City Manager, Billy Tyus, said the program runs from October 2nd to the 13th.
He joined the Scott Miller Show earlier this week.
“It’s giving people the chance to get rid of some of those items that have been stuck in the garage or basement for awhile now,” Tyus said.
Depending on the amount of material, weather, and other circumstances, pick-up dates could be subject to change.
Household garbage will not be collected, along with commercial or hazardous waste, appliances or electronics.
Additional information on bulk pick-up can be found at bloomingtonil.gov/solidwaste.
