Council discusses timing for Midvale’s biannual bulky curbside waste program
Summary
Public Works staff told the council the city provides curbside bulky pickup twice a year; after resident complaints about moving the fall pickup to November, council members discussed options (including April and October pickups with November leaf dumpsters) and agreed to keep the proposed plan for a couple of years with stronger resident messaging.
Public Works Director Glen Kennedy reviewed Midvale’s biannual bulky curbside collection program, which typically runs in April and late October; last year the October pickup was moved to late November to align with leaf removal and a leaf‑bag program, but the City received negative resident feedback on the November timing.
Council members discussed alternatives. Council Member Paul Glover said he favored keeping the two pickups plus a dumpster option and emphasized the difficulty of timing pickups to match differing leaf fall patterns; Council Member Bryant Brown preferred an April/October schedule with November leaf dumpsters. Council Member Heidi Robinson urged more aggressive public messaging to clarify service options and dates. The council agreed to keep the plan in place for a couple of years and improve messaging to residents.
