 City
of Lufkin Solid Waste Services will begin its residential
garbage cart replacement program on Monday, May 19.
"Crews will begin replacing the 65-gallon grey carts with
new, 96-gallon carts Monday morning,” according to Lynn
Winthrop, assistant director for solid waste and recycling
for the city of Lufkin. “All residents have to do is place
their carts out for regular garbage collection, and the
carts will be replaced once they’ve been emptied.”
Customers who don’t want the larger carts can call Solid
Waste Services at 633-0281 and request to keep their small
carts. Those who have already called in don’t need to call
again. You can click
here to select your carts online!
Monday’s cart replacement schedule includes neighborhoods
around Southwood Drive, roughly covering the area from Loop
287 north to Pershing Ave. and east to S. Raguet St. and S.
First St. Tuesday’s schedule will include the Crown
Colony subdivision and neighborhoods south of Whitehouse
Drive, on either side of S. Chestnut St. and in Fuller
Springs.
“Each route may take more than one day to complete,”
according to Winthrop. “Crews will find a stopping point and
complete the route the following week. So anyone expecting a
new cart next week might actually receive one a week later.”
