These past few weeks have been a time filled with panic and disruption, now hitting your trash collection. The Philadelphia Streets Department has just announced a new schedule for recycling pick-up.
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.
| Week of | Collection Type |
| April 6th – April 11th | Trash Collections only |
| Friday, April 10th | No collections – Good Friday Holiday |
| April 13th – April 17th | Trash & Recycling Collections |
| April 20th – April 24th | Trash Collections only |
| April 27th – May 1st | Trash & Recycling Collections |
| May 4th – May 8th | Trash Collections Only |

Make sure you use lids on your recycling bins if you have them. If you don’t, you can pick one up from the Sanitation Convenience Centers, open from 8 AM-8 PM Tuesday through Saturday and free to Philly residents.
Trash collections will still remain on their normal weekly schedule, with the exception of this week due to Good Friday. (Those who get their trash picked up on Friday normally would be delayed a day.)
