SOLID WASTE SERVICES |
 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.

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.”
