Cibolo City to switch curbside trash service to Waste Connections; new carts arriving the week of July 7

Mayor Mark Allen announced that Waste Connections will take over curbside trash and recycling service for Cibolo City, saying, "Starting the week of July 7, your brand new Waste Connections trash and recycling carts will begin arriving." The mayor told residents to continue using their current Republic Services carts "until they are collected."

The change affects multiple curbside services. Steve Berry, with Waste Connections, said the company will handle "trash, recycling, e waste, household hazardous waste, and bulky item and brush collection," and added, "our team is so excited to be servicing the city of Cibolo." Berry also told residents Waste Connections planned to begin servicing Cibolo on July 28.

Mayor Allen said Republic Services "will continue servicing those carts during the transition period." In the meeting transcript the mayor said Republic would service collections "until the 20 seventh," a phrase that is unclear in the recording; the exact final service date by Republic Services was not specified in the transcript.

Residents were directed to keep using their existing Republic Services carts until they are collected and then use the new Waste Connections carts once delivered. The announcement included a prompt to "check out the link below" for additional information and questions; no specific web address or phone number was provided in the recorded remarks.

There was no record in the transcript of a formal council vote or other action; the remarks in the record were announcements by the mayor and a representative of Waste Connections about the vendor transition.
