Billings, Montana – As Billings residents welcome the new year, it’s essential to be aware of the changes in the trash pickup schedule for 2024. Billings Public Works (BPW) has recently announced their service calendar for the upcoming year, including important information about planned closures and service delays.
The 2024 schedule, which is now available on social media, details several planned service interruptions that will impact residents’ regular garbage collection routine. One of the most notable changes affects the monthly cardboard pickup dates. BPW collects cardboard only once a month, and these dates are determined based on your regular trash collection day. Here’s how it breaks down:
- If your regular collection day is Monday, your cardboard will be collected on the 1st Monday of each month.
- If your collection day falls on Tuesday, expect cardboard pickup on the 2nd Tuesday of each month.
- For those with Wednesday as their regular collection day, cardboard will be picked up on the 3rd Wednesday of each month.
- Finally, if your trash is usually collected on Thursday, your cardboard will be picked up on the 4th Thursday of each month.
The first significant delay in the 2024 schedule is just around the corner. New Year’s Day, January 1st, will result in a one-day service delay. This means if your usual collection day is Monday, both your first trash pickup and first cardboard pickup of the year will now be on Tuesday, January 2nd.
Residents are advised to double-check their pickup dates to start the year off without any hiccups. It’s essential to stay informed about these changes to ensure your garbage and recyclables are collected on time.
For those seeking more detailed information on their specific collection days, planned closures, or additional collection services, BPW encourages visiting the Billings Public Works Garbage Collection website. This resource will provide all the necessary updates and guidelines to help residents navigate the trash collection schedule for the upcoming year seamlessly. Being aware of these changes will help maintain the cleanliness and orderliness of the community throughout 2024.
