The Solid Waste Division of the City of Muscatine has announced that there will be a change in the day of refuse and recycling collection for some residents on the odd numbered side of Mulberry Avenue beginning January 3, 2023. Five residences on East Mississippi Drive and one on Leroy Street will also be affected by the change.
“We are making some changes to the refuse/recycling route along Mulberry,” David Popp, Solid Waste Manager for the City of Muscatine said. “It has been confusing in the past as what we were doing did not match the map that is sent out every year.”
Mulberry Avenue serves as the dividing line between three sanitation and recycling routes … the Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday routes. Residents on the odd numbered side of the 1100 block through the 2500 block were having their refuse collected on Thursday and their recycling according to the Thursday “A” route.
That will change starting January 3 as these residents, along with a few others, will now have their refuse collected on Fridays starting January 6, 2023, and recycling switched to the Friday “B” route that will also start on January 6, 2023.
“Residents with the affected changes have been sent a letter.” Popp said. “The 2023 refuse/recycling calendar and map, which outlines collection days, have been sent out.”
Another change will come for residents in the 600 block of Mulberry (600, 606, 608, 610, 612, 614) who will have their refuse collected on Tuesdays starting January 3, 2023, and their recycling collected according to the Tuesday “A” route beginning January 10, 2023.
The addresses for the change to Friday collection are below. If you did not receive a letter explaining the change or you did not receive the 2023 refuse/recycling calendar and map, please contact the Muscatine Transfer Station at 563-263-9689.
