leis SUBJECT: Change in Garbage Routing
As the City grows, so does the need to balance garbage, recycling and yard waste routes to ensure prompt and
efficient solid waste services. Significant population growth it north and northwest Fort Worth has
necessitated the transfer of some homes from their current service day to a new service day.
As provided for in our contract, Waste Management has made a request to the Director of Environmental
Management to adjust routes to effectively equalize the service volume in each route. Beginning the week of
October 10, 2004, about 4,200 homes will change from a Monday collection day to a Tuesday collection day.
The change will affect the neighborhoods of Lost Creek, Linkcrest and a portion of Westpoint (homes south
of Clifford/White Settlement and west of Loop 820). Maps of the current and new service areas are attached.
During the week of September 27,2004,residents in the affected areas will be mailed postcards and receive a
tag on their front door informing them of the change and reminding them to place their weekly garbage,
I
ycling, yard trimmings out for collection of Tuesdays, beginning October 12, 2004.
