MCKINNEY — For the first time since 2004, McKinney Environmental Services department is coordinating a trash collection re-route with IESI, the city's solid waste services company. Not every house will be affected, but 10,000 residents will have a new trash collection day as of Monday, Oct. 6.

Residents who are affected have received a notice on their trash bin with their new trash day. Signs posted in neighborhoods within the re-routed area also notify residents of the change. If a resident does not receive a notice attached to the trash or recycling container, their trash collection and watering days will stay the same. The city is making some concessions to accommodate citizens during the change.

"Trash collection is a vital service, so IESI will conduct collections for those who were missed throughout the week of Oct. 6," said Eric Hopes, Environmental and Fleet Services Manager. "Our intent is to make the changes as easy as possible, while achieving the end result of an evenly distributed refuse pick-up load."

A new trash collection day also means a new day to for recycling and environmental waste pick-up, and a new watering day. If your trash day changes, remember to water on that new collection day and again three days later if necessary. For more information on or to view the new trash route maps, visit the McKinney Web site or call 469-452-8000.
