Salt Lakes New Call To Haul Trash Program
Gone are the days of old neighborhood clean up program in Salt Lake City. A new Call to Haul program has replaced the Neighborhood Clean-Up program that picked up large trash items curbside once a year.
The new program has many advantages for Salt Lake residents. Call to Haul will operate year-round unlike the Neighborhood Clean Up program that only happened once a year.
Because Call to Haul will be operating year-round, residents will now be able to schedule what day they want the city to come and pick up their large trash items.
This gives residents a lot more flexibility and makes sure that no one misses the pickup day.
“We’re excited about this new service. It’s an opportunity for us to have a year-round program. So, we’ll be able to run 12 months out of the year.
”
The program hasn't been without its challenges though as KSL reports. It seems like the new call to haul program has some people a bit confused.
Trash piles are building on the curb in some neighborhoods around Salt Lake City, and some residents are starting to take notice.
This is likely due to a confusion in the program or a lack of knowledge that the new program exists.
It seems like some people might think that it is time for the yearly neighborhood clean up and they aren't making an appointment with call to haul.
“If you see that your neighbors put stuff out, it doesn’t just mean that it’s time for you to do the equal thing. Please call us to schedule your collection.”
Salt Lake City workers went out at the beginning of August to hang more signs and remind residents of the new program.
Getting everyone educated about the new program is going to be critical for its success.
The new program though does seem a lot better than the old neighborhood cleanup program.
Sophia Nicholas stated, "We understand there is going to be a bit of a transition period.”
