Kincaid board votes to end alley trash pickup; front‑side service starts July 1
Summary
Trustees approved changing trash collection from alley pickup to front‑side (curb) service, citing repeated sewer damage from heavy collection trucks. The change takes effect July 1, 2026, with exemptions for dumpsters and assistance for residents who need help moving cans.
Mayor Tony Pezze opened discussion by saying the large trucks have damaged sewer infrastructure: "these trucks have gotten so big and so heavy they are taking out the sewer lines," and urged the board to stop alley pickup to avoid costly repairs.
Trustee Nelson moved to end alley pickup and switch to front‑side service effective July 1, 2026; Trustee Dees seconded. The motion passed unanimously. Board members discussed limited exceptions for multi‑family dumpsters, and Clerk Watson said collection crews indicated they would assist older residents who cannot move cans. The board directed staff to post notice to residents and to coordinate with contractors on rollout logistics.
