About 8,000 Dubuque households can expect to receive new city trash carts next month.
Starting April 3, city staff will begin delivering 400 35-gallon tipper trash carts per day to residents as part of its implementation of an automated trash collection system, with the intention of distributing 8,000 carts by the end of the month. The carts will be delivered based on trash collection days, starting with residents whose garbage is picked up Monday and continuing through the week. The carts are designed to be easily grabbed by trucks equipped with automated side-loading devices.
