Moline Begins Assembly of 17,000 Carts for Automated
Garbage Collection Program
 

Posted 05/11/06

Moline, IL – Assembly is underway for the 17,000 carts needed for Moline’s new automated garbage collection program scheduled to be implemented early this summer. City crews are assembling an estimated 1,000 carts per day at the warehouse space located at 2500 River Drive, (east end of the building) during the hours of 7 am – 3 pm.

City crews will begin delivery of the new garbage carts to Moline residents on or before June 1, and hope to complete delivery by the end of June. Residents should begin using their new cart immediately upon receipt. The City will no longer collect garbage from other containers or Herbie Curbies once a resident has received his new cart.

Each garbage cart features a bright orange sticker affixed to its lid which provides residents with proper placement instructions and the telephone numbers to call for bulky item collection, appliance/tire pick-up and general collection questions.

For questions about the new carts or automated garbage collection program, residents may call the Public Works Department at 309-797-0780.
