City Asks Residents To Avoid Taking Recycling Bins To Curb

EL PASO, Texas —

The City of El Paso Environmental Services Department is asking residents to help do their share to reduce wind-blown debris on severe weather days.

During times of severe windy weather the city, when winds reach or exceed 30 mph, asks that residents do not take your recycling bins out to the curb.

Residents can wait until their next regularly scheduled pick-up day to place their recycling bins out for collection.

Here are some more garbage and recycling tips for windy days: • If possible, on windy days keep garbage and recycling bins secure until pick-up; • Mark your address on your bins. This can help if you have to locate your bins should they get blown away; • Haul your trash and recycling bins away from the curb as soon as they are emptied to keep them from being blown onto the roadways.

For more information about trash and recycling services during severe windy weather the public may call 915- 621-6700.
