Heads up, Wilmington residents: your weekend plans might need to include a quick check on your trash and recyclables routine. The city government offices are taking a break on Friday, April 18. Yep, that’s Good Friday, so while some might be reflecting on higher matters, don’t find yourself marooned with a full bin and nowhere to put it. According to the City of Wilmington’s announcement, there won’t be any collections taking place on the holiday itself.
Don’t be thrown off by the week’s shake-up; here’s the lowdown. East of I-95 residents should have rolled out their trash by Monday, April 14, just as the West siders should have done on Tuesday. Slipped the mind? Well, it happens. Recyclables had their turn in the spotlight with the East side collection on Wednesday and the West following suit on Thursday, so make sure you’ve got it sorted.
No need to crowd your porch with bins on Friday; the Sanitation Division isn’t making the rounds then. This one-day pause in service has a ripple effect, remember, so readjust your throw-away timelines accordingly…
