Beginning this coming Monday, April 6th, recycling will be skipped biweekly, resuming scheduled pickups the week of April 11th.
“Recycling collections will resume on Monday, April 13th with every other week collections through May 15th or further,” according to the Philadelphia Streets Department in a press release.
