The City of Frankfort has released some updates for Automated Trash:
It is important to have your trash carts out BY 7 a.m. Crews will begin pickup at 7 a.m. We are working on day 2 of automation and will need to run the routes differently based on the truck arm location. If your trash is not set out by 7 a.m. on your trash day it will NOT be picked up until the following week. You can set your carts out the night before to ensure pickup.
The ONLY trash that will be picked up is if they are in the new City of Frankfort trash containers. Bagged trash on the ground will NOT be picked up.
If you have extra trash that doesn’t fit in the cart, please bring it to the Street Department Monday thru Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. or on the first and and third Saturday of the month from 8 a.m.to noon. There is no extra charge for residents who bring in bagged trash.
Recycle: Recycling will remain the same with bags on the ground. We encourage residents to recycle with no sorting necessary. Due to the safety of the crew members, we do NOT accept glass during pick up but it can be dropped off at the Recycle Barn.
Street pick-up locations: If you have street pick up please make sure it is as close to the road or curb as possible. Do NOT place your cart against a fence, utility pole, or garage.
Alley pick-up locations: If you have alley pick up please make sure it is along the alley and NOT by your garage or fence.
If you have not received your new trash carts please call the office at 765.659.2912. Please leave a voicemail with your name, phone number, and address if no one answers.
