Oak Ridge’s citywide household trash pickup program began Monday, October 2.
During the annual pickup, household garbage, old appliances, and minor remodeling materials will be picked up. City collection efforts will follow the accompanying schedule as closely as possible, a press release said.
“Residents have always been very cooperative, and we ask for their continued cooperation this year by following a few guidelines,” the press release said. “Residents should place all materials near, but not beyond, the curb. Keep materials off sidewalks and out of parking areas and gutters. Please bag as many items as possible to prevent items from being scattered in prohibited areas.
“There is a limit of one truckload of material per residence. A truckload is defined as one pickup truck or approximately 3 feet high by 4 feet wide by 8 feet long, approximately 100 cubic feet maximum.”
